FINAL UPDATE

ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

SPEEDDREAM IS A LEGIT SELLER!


So I traded a set of Tein Basics for supposedly a Stillen Gen 2 Full Exhaust

Me and this other member agreed on a deal to send my Tein Basics for his Stillen "Gen 2" plus $150 on his end, and I pay shipping for both items.

I disclosed all the information I know about the coilovers (pics, miles, ANYTHING that needs to be said). The other guy just claims that it's a full catback, uninstalled at Stillen. In his thread, one of the members here asked why he was selling for so cheap, and his reply was because he wanted to help the Sedan drivers out. No mention of the item condition whatsoever.

Well, the exhaust arrived yesterday and I decided to open the package up today...


Here's how it looks like:








WTF is this? Cut pipe, welded on resonators, one is welded on backwards. This is not what a Stillen Gen 2 is supposed to be!

I did some digging and it turns out this exhaust that was advertised as Stillen Gen 2 is actually a Stillen Gen 1!

Here's proof of why I say that:

I don't know what else to say. I'm upset with how this whole thing turned out, but I'm keeping my cool about it. I asked for some money back to fix the exhaust, if not I just want my coilovers. This time I'm not paying for shipping at all.

What do you guys think I should do?

 

BTW, to whoever bought this guy's Stillen Stage 2 supercharger. Please inspect all the parts that came with it. You might have some hacked up **** hidden somewhere.

 

i hate scammers ! i would be pissed !

 

WOW!


Sorry to see you got jerked and misled by a fellow member here.

The least he could have done was buy you dinner and give you a kiss before he you like that

Did the individual respond to your request for some cash back to repair the exhaust? If he decides to ignore you then you may have to go after him via other channels such as local authorities or file a small claim against him

best of luck either way with handling the situation to your satisfaction

 

well..not really sure id contact the guy and tell him whats up.he willing to trade you back for your coils...even if you have pay shipping again..that exhaust is pretty beat up looking

 

wow.. that sux.. but the "350GT" badge should given the r!cer away immediately..

hopefully you can get some of your $$ back.

 

Wow that sucks bro. Where is this seller located?

Lol, that's what you got for getting an exhaust instead of putting a snail in the mufflers place

 

Oh what a douchebag!! I hate fukcing scammers!

Did you already try to contact this guy?

 

^ Yeah, I know. Man, I almost bought your kit had you not gone to the meet. I would've sent the money and could've avoided all this... Hehe.

I guess things happen for a reason. We'll see how this one turns out.

 

^^ Already contacted the guy. I have his info but no phone number. Just waiting for his reply.

 

Looks like you might have to take a roadtrip to south gate, CA. G/L with getting your Teins back. At least you have his plate number.

 

yup thats gen 1, but i actualy like the gen 1 more .

 

Yup, almost done with the semester. So I will have all summer to hunt someone down if I have to.

 

Wow, this is why there were no good pics. Sorry this happened. I don't see any excuse NOT to mention it was modded and CUT UP.

 

Damn, bro, sorry to hear about this. That exhaust is BEAT! Best of luck to you in recovering money and/or your TEINs back.
