As for the guy living in the million dollar home but only buys the 250 exhaust, i'd say he is a smart money man. There is no rocket science to welding and bending a 3" pipe. You could strap a greddy badge on the side of this exhaust and sell it for another 400 and its still the same damn thing. Why pay 400 for a sticker.
On the subject of the intercooler, that is something I wouldn't get too chincy on. SSAC has probably done no R&D on their design where as the big companies have put countless hours into.

I was bidding on that exhaust for the past week and its the first time somthing like this has ever happened to me with anyone on ebay.
First time I bid on it I was outbid last minute, which seems kinda odd seeing as they had about 10 of these turbo backs posted up, of which some ended just prior to the one I bid on, but those didn't have a single bid on them. I didn't really pay attention to it at first and placed a bid on another one of these turbobacks. An hour before the auction ended, it was cancelled and taken off of ebay. Two odd occurances from the same seller?
Okay, so I place another bid on another one of their turbobacks which I won yesterday, after submitting payment it gets refunded. At this point this really was pissing me off. I contact the seller and he tells me the reason it was refunded is because they dont have it in stock and they will have it within 30-45 days.
Checking out their reviews and looking through their website I was considering buying a few more things from them, but now I have to wait and see what they tell me about this transaction. Oh, and by the way they have another one of these turbobacks posted up so if you place a bid on it be ready to wait 30-45 days?
Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated to what they tell me next.

I am switching turbo setups and unfortunatley my exhaust no longer fits so I will be selling my TBE. if anyone local to the PA area is interested in purchasing for cheap let me know.
We need more reviews like yours on this forum...
I so want one of these exhausts now. I had a Buschur on my 2003 Evo and it rubbed a LOT< after my 4th revision I got it to fit right but then EVERY TIME it rained, I would get that vibration. With this, after you bang the hell out of the Downpipe to make it fit, how much clearance is there?
Also where do I get myself a proper 02 simulator?
I will use this new found Money to get myself a JDM Rear bumper.

I got mine from roc_iran, and since the bid was at $299 and the "buy it now" was $300 I just bought it. Arrived at my door 6 weeks later...
So try roc_iran.

1) I didn't "bang the hell" out of the downpipe... In fact I'd bet you couldn't tell the difference between mine and one that hasn't been altered, its still almost perfectly round.
2) The ammount of clearance is entirely up to you... You could bang it into a complete oval and get an inch of clearance, but I didn't want that. I have about a centimeter of clearance.
