Good deal?

Hey I was offered an exahust system its HKS catback Ti exhaust with perrin cat del pipe and HKS downpipe.

It was used for ~3months the guy wants 800 bucks for it. This a good deal or is 800 a bit much for a used exhaust system also it didnt have a wideban O2 sensor.

Any thoughts opinions?

Why buy used when Vivid is selling 3" turbobacks for around $800. Espilar or Perrin I believe.

Yea I know I could get a new system for around 900 bucks or so but it wouldn't be titanium exhaust which is normally about a grand just for the catback. Retail MSRP on this system is around 1500ish. I honestly don't know how big of a difference Ti makes over normal stainless steel other than the price gets jacked up.

good price for turbo back. just catback is 500 new plus 150 for high flow and another 200 for downpipe.

The only thing I purchased new is the Injen intake kit with upper intercooler pipping($380 shipped). Have only spent around $1200 dollars and into the 300+whp/tq. Not bad....

not bad at all. how big of a difference did the intercooler piping make? It doesn't seem like it would be that significant but I see lots of people getting it and shelling out almost as much for that as a catback exhaust.

If your thinking the Titanium is going to cut some weight off the system, its not. The HKS Ti is not a full titanium setup, its just the tip. I would go with the Greddy unit, which is fully made out of titanium(~10lbs.) which goes for around the same price.

Let's just say, the results are right on with Buschurs stage 2 but for alot less money.
