Not the best buying experience but in the end I did finally get the exhaust.
When it comes to buying from someone on a forum it takes a LOT of trust to simply send someone a large sum of money with nothing to prove this person is trustworthy and you will get what you paid for.
Vodarockets lack of communication and broken promises make this a necessary reply. Yes, I’m the first and seemingly only person to have issues with him but no one wants to be the guy who gets treated like this. And I won't go into details as to the why's and how's. He and I are well aware of that.
Then today I finally get my exhaust. I get home and see the box sitting on my porch and the first thing I see was a hole in the box with a flange sticking out of it. I drag the box into the garage and open it. Upon opening the box this is what I found… I had to go get my camera to show just how the exhaust came to me. I did nothing to what you see except open the box.

A horribly packed box with exhaust pieces just thrown in, the muffler not wrapped and the exhaust tips sticking out of the other side of the box. How can someone NOT wrap the muffler and tips up?? This is the one part of the exhaust that will be visible from behind the car. And the muffler was sitting directly on the resonators with nothing in between them. One of the exhaust tips got some road rash on it from sticking out of the box but it was nothing my metal polish and dremel buffing wheels couldn’t fix.

Packing material was in the box but it wasn’t really doing anything. There were a few pieces of foam in between a few of the pieces but those were bare exhaust pipes and I could care less if those had marks on them. Then on top of that the clamps, gaskets and fasteners were literally just thrown in the box and were everywhere.

How hard would it have been to simply put them in a zip-loc bag or something? Hopefully I have the required pieces and that none of them fell out of the box.
I have no animosity towards Boris and as much as I hated having to write a negative review I felt it was the right thing to do.
