Talking First mod I just bought

Well, I had some extra money after buying a pillar and gauges, so I splurged and came up with this. I think its a good deal, taking it's not very used, and is 800 new.

Cant wait to put it on!

Same happend here. With 10 seconds left it went from 428 to 515, my max bid being 516. I had to admit, I think I got very lucky by beating him by a dollar. Now, all I need is a 3 inch test pipe. Anyone? I'm thinking of having a shop make me one? Any comments on that? It would be mandrel bent of course.

Auction sniping...
I do it to - use iSnipe-it (search on Google) next time and set it to 15 seconds - you will win every one!

Only if your snipe is higher than his maximum bid Yeah, I snipe a lot too. Otherwise you end up in bidding wars sometimes or whatnot.

515 for used exhaust?? Sweet, my NEW SFR unit is now for sale for 1K, any takers? Joking with you, or sorts. I think that unit sells for just a little more than that new. Anyone know for sure?

On a similar note, I need an exhaust that would be the other half, cat-forward. Except, no cat. Anyone have a 3" for sale? Who should I look into for the piece (downpipe, testpipe, wg tie-in), roughly how much?

What kind of exhaust do you have now? It will make a difference. The SFR for instance requires you use their DP (different flanges).

Fabspeed's website says $795, so I guess $515 is a deal. Looks very similar to my SFR exhaust, only you can't unbolt the muffler(i guessed) and it cost $200 more!

That's a good looking exhaust, but personally I like my big oval SFR tip more.

On ebay I won my some bike stuff in the last 4 seconds, by a couple bucks. I also lost an auction in the last 8 seconds. I bid in the last 10, and was winning for 2 seconds.

Looks like a good deal.

Mike, I agree, it is nice to be able to remove the muffler.
