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

UPDATE

Link to PM conversation:
REMOVED

Link to the Stillen Exhaust FS thread:

Link to my Tein Basic FS thread:
https://g35driver.com/forums/suspens...ling-ship.html

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.

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

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

^ 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.

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.
