I don't give my GF fake diamonds, and I sure as hell don't put ebay junk on my car.
Exhaust is not exhaust. Have fun when your ebay pipe is all rusted out in a year, I will have my nice Magnaflow system that looks just as good as it did on day 1.
Ricers.
if ur using proxies to get back here ur retarded, theres a way easier way.
k-mart doesnt sell fake diamonds, i worked there since i was 16 to a little over 18 then got a different job since i was now 18.
oh so now you buy magnaflow so it wont rust out and look like shat? hmm... you care about looks? and you call us ricers? i'm just gunna spray mine with high heat rustoleum... rust solved

do you perform your own work to your vehicle? are you qualified? sure, you know what you're doing, but if your not qualified then technically your not doing it right. who are you to say my way of doing something isnt right? tomato or tomahto?

you love an inanimate object? this is what i dont understand about some enthusiasts. nissan's cool, i like the 240, but im not going to wipe it down with a diaper after i hand wash it on the perfect day. and dont even say dont use a diaper cuz of whatever reason my car breaks, i fix it, if i total it oh well. people post all these threads " another 240 down" who cares? sucks ur car broke but oh well, buy another one.
xdarkrune wrote:do you realise why most items take so long to come from japan?it's not the shipping, it's becuase most of the companies and manufacturers do not mass produce the products before hand.
so if something is mass produced it must be crap? sure if it is mass produced there is more of a chance that some products can come out sub par and hence, some peoples bad experiences, but that doesnt mean everything is crap. i guess when you buy your $600+ bent pipe exhaust you get a guaranteed quality product, but you spend $200 shipped and you get a stuck in silencer, so you bend it, pull it out, then re-bend it back... simple. still not worth it to me

buying and supporting copy cat brands or ebay brands is the SAME THING as buying a knock off bride seat, or a knock off turbo timer. there was a huge article a while back in sport compact car i believe about knock off products and ebay products.
if the seats comfy i'll buy em and you know what a turbo timer is?? its a simple board made as a countdown, i made those freshman year in like 1/2 a school day. sure the expensive ones have like speed stuff and this and that but its nothing that someone who has the right stuff cant make in 2 hours. why pay what? $100+ just for a name?
Yes, i read the article, laughed and set the magazine down. it's competition, and demand. people know what people want, so they re-create it. if you had the supplies readily available to make an exhaust system and the know how to exactly duplicate any specified exhaust, why wouldnt you and sell it for cheap? you'd make money, you like money right?

and anyone pressing their views upon others should have their throat slit. like i said, how is the way you see things more correct than the way i see things?

if you go on ebay for parts are you a daily track driver? probably not, so why should i become one? it's my DD, like most ebay-ers and followers of this thread. ill go to the track sometime, itll be my first time and im curious about it, but will i be an everyday drifter of w/e... no. and yes, slapping an ebay exhaust on and driving it is testing it, how it rusts, how it helps throttle responce, anything like that.
