Dont see how this is going to prove anything. Just because he may not have a performance exhaust on the car in whatever video he posts doesnt mean he didnt receive a performance exhaust.

Its not up to the seller to prove his innocence. Its up to the buyer to prove guilt. Thats how it works in America. You are innocent until proven guilty. Quote:
Pictures are not going to prove or disprove anything here. The seller could easily post up a pic of a performance exhaust and the buyer could have easily sold the performance exhaust and claim he never got it. Last edited by Donkey Brolic; 01-24-2013 at 08:55 PM.. |

Could be simliar cicrumstance. Seller this is exactly why I take pics of my stuff before shipping you just never know. OP, I dunno what to say to you other than I would've asked him to identify a part number and then looked it up before hand if you werent familiar with the part. |

I also only take a pic of the item when im selling it. I dont take a landscape view of the surroundings. By your standards, if the seller cant prove his innocence, then he is guilty. As I said, thats not how it works in America. Also, poor college kid with a e90 and a Merc in the garage? The definition of "poor" must have dramatically changed since I was a kid. |

Video of what? As I said above, a picture (or video) of a non-PE isn't going to prove that you did not receive a PE. Your story just seems too odd. Especially the part where your friend was supposedly there when you opened the box and saw that it was a stock exhaust yet said nothing to you about it. He says he knew it was a stock exhaust, he knew you already had a stock exhaust, and still didnt bother asking or saying anything? And the whole receipt thing is weird too. So you say this seller told you he didn't have a receipt for the exhaust yet you bought it anyway without even knowing what a PE was and without asking any real questions? Where did you get into college again? |

I took a passing interest in this thread when I saw the bit about performance exhausts as I am getting my car track ready. I also was interested as I have a lot of experience selling. I guess that when I start making good points you feel the need to discredit me? I'll shutup. My point has been made. I wouldn't want to be the next outcast/victim in this community. |

I looked at the video and the exhaust does not have a deep growl to it. Park the car outside in the cold for a few hours and then start it. If you have a PE exhaust the growl will be quite noticeable after you start the car. Also the tips on a PE exhaust are a lot wider than a stock exhaust. The PE tips are chrome the ones in the video and look like chrome covers that are fitted over the stock exhaust.

Pic 2 clearly shows that the chrome tips are fitted over the stock tips. If you look at the tip on on the left you can see that the chrome overlay was fitted to the very end of the stock tip. And again the width is also wrong in these pics because the PE exhaust tips are visibly wider.

Seller can simply put up a pic of a PE and buyer can simply take a vid or pic of a stock exhaust. Looks like theres no real way to figure this out for sure. |

1. The identification plate located near the tips is not there. 2. On a PE exhaust the pipe connecting out is on the OPPOSITE side of the tips. In the pic the pipe is on the same side. 3. The tips in the pic are NOT fully chromed. PE tips are chrome from front to end. I'm not going to get into the debate if "bait and switch" was used in this deal but I will clear up the fact that the exhaust depicted in the pics is not a PE. Seller please post the pics you sent to the OP. This way we can settle this. Last edited by Delta0311; 01-24-2013 at 10:58 PM.. |

Your saying that the pic in the first post is not the exhaust and packaging you sent. Correct?
