OP should ask to go see it in his own Evo, minus the rear piece and see what the seller says.


Not even his own pic, that pic belongs to Tanabe.

It's like he stole it and went back in time or something. Maybe he didn't resell it or something... watch, the guy has a garage full of stolen exhausts just as a collection

How do you report that to insurance? Makes me wonder how much the OEM part costs.

I come to the IX turn it on to warm it up only to hear a LOUD start up and idle. I quickly go outside of the car and look under to see if there's a huge hole. No holes but missing the axle back part. The midpipe is still there but no axle back. I also noticed the left side skirt is loose (coming off) and has crack damage towards the rear. My only guess they lifted the car on this side.

I am very very pissed off right now and was late to work because of this. Good thing though I still have my stock muffler. Went home real quick to pick it up and install on the car for the time being. Just a warning to all you guys. This isn't the first time my car was vandalized. Couple of months ago someone egged my car and just 6 months ago someone broke in my car to steal an ipod nano that was hiding in the glove compartment. They used a HUUUUGE rock to break my passenger window and left me a nice present. Which was the rock chilling waiting for me on the driver seat. I have NO idea where the rock came from in that area. But all I can say is that I hate downtown LB. And I am forcing my GF to move out. But good thing that there were no other damages on the car beside the splattered window and some minor scuff on the driver seat.

I really have no picture of the exhaust... and I will be keeping my eye on CL or something. The exhaust is fairly new. Bought about 2-3 months ago. I never took pictures of the exhaust... Never thought I should anyways. At this moment there should be no major scratch on it except maybe rock chips from DD. I know it's no help and I will never find it. But like I said this is a heads up for everyone. Wheels being stolen and now exhausts... ugh.

Oh and the exhaust is Tanabe Concept G (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/gblue.asp?id=9)

Was bought new at local shop... Looks like I'll have to find another one. Is it possible to buy the axle back by itself? Rather than buying the whole thing?
What will they steal next... Jeeze.

Unfortunately, this could be the case of the thieving, sociopathic, evo - exhaust collector guy

Bummer to you man, at least the car was still there. A real thief would have left it in a ditch after having some fun with it or chopped it up (whole) and sold it for $$.
