Fake AMS lower pipe on Ebay

This guy is selling this as an AMS lower pipe when it clearly isnt. I asked them about it but no response. It looks like a fighters garage pipe. Just thought I would share. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...167900221&rd=1

I saw that as well and since I just bought an AMS LICP, I figured it was not the real one. Not sure how good it is, but not AMS.

they pipe will work just as well as any other pipe.
any body paying for that $70 for a licp is stupid

persionally i just make my own for less than $50. all you need a a U bend and a 45degree pipe. then you just cut and weld or you can just use a cupuler to make it 2 pieces so you dont even have to weld

No comment. We pay more than that for the material. This topic will never end.

Just to let you guys know. I contact ebay on every fake AMS item I see. I will also contact bidders and let them know it's not a true AMS product. We don't like to see people get shafted in a situation like this.
