Yeah .. but in two of the three pics, you can see the UNCUT tails of the mufflers... so .. you think this really is the same guy? Why would he have two concurrent listings?

[I]brad karger (bmkarger@yahoo.com)[I]hey shit head they are comptech headers and they BOLT on using the metal flanges and the stock bolts. I would post more photos but you can't revise the photos once someone has bid on an item. By the way I also contacted Ebay and reported you for false allegations of fraud.

hail to the victors
man, i almost bought that from him!! i knew something was wrong.. he relisted the item several times, and fortunately, i forgot to bid.. i love ebay bought sometimes it is too risky..
last year, i bet on a new imac g4. he had a very good feedback rating with at least 500, so i trusted him and sent him a $1000 money order. And it was the biggest mistake i've ever made in my entire life!! i found out he stole someone's identity. and there was at least 5 victims by this bastard...

yeah , I just got ripped on a nitrous kit that wasn't as advertised... I finally got my money back after lots of threats for legal action. It took 3 months to finish it all. I hate these bastards.

Well from what I can see if you notice the first auction look at the pics. All three pictures you can see a small little black oil dot by the rag on pic 1 and 2. Picture three will also show the little black dot but on the top left.
Now the 2nd auction if you look closely you the first pic has a tag of some sort on the left rag which none of the first auction has. You can see on the second pic if you compare on both auctions the reflections on the mufflers are both different as well. Auction 1 took the pics outside while the second auction took it inside. Picture 3 did in fact come from the first auction evidenced by the black oil dot.
Take in consideration that both sellers are from different parts of the country the 1st being in Cali and the second from Boston. Coincidentaly they are being hosted from the same pics site service. Maybe they are friends but who knows?
Keep in mind people do copy pictures from others. Not trying to be an ass either since me and u dont get along. Just pointing out FYI. Just my .$02

pay attention to the black dot on the concrete on the left side of the right hand cloth. These are the same photographs only cropped...

Where is my super sauce?
Sleazy, yes; fraud, no (on the auction with the larger pics). I didn't read in the description that they are new or in mint condition. He only says that they shine like new. His pics plainly show the rear flange is cut off.
I think this is just a highlight of the expression Caveat Emptor!

if you want to see the pics make sure he puts a news paper front page in them to be sure they're today or have him add something in the pics to be sure that they're legit.

I remember the other auction for these and it said "bolt on." They are clearly NOT bolt on. Someone will be dissappointed when they receive their exhaust.

The first auction doesn't even exist anymore... so it looks like eBay took it down. Someone should just email him to see the "other" pics of where it bolts on. Just pretend you're interested and see what he sends you. If it's BS you can just go straight to eBay with it.

ktgumbo... he could be, but all he'd have to do is say so. That the pictures weren't his. However he doesn't. I've had several e-mails back and forth with him. I'm trying to get him to send me a pic with the auction # in it of the rear of the part that bolts up.

I think you're confused a bit there Slimey. The fraudulent auction is the one with the cropped pictures. He claims that they are not messed up and sawed off in that one. That they will bolt on. However older pictures from other auctions show otherwise.

naww, the same guy tried selling them a few times back. I e-mailed him to ask why they were cut off. He never actualy went through with any of the sales b/c ppl backed out when they noticed. This time he chose a new screen name and decided to crop the pictures out and claim that they were not sawed off. He's not dumb, he knows what he's doing...

so i guess the jury is in... they are legit... he sent me a photo of the exhausts with the ends in it along with the auction # listed.
you can't blame me for noticing that the photos from the other auction are exactly alike though right? They were in fact the other photos probably and he just used them and cropped out the rest.
