Hey guys,

So there's a local guy that's about to turn in his V and is equipped with good parts. He has the following:

B&B exhaust
Kooks 1 7/8 headers
K&N intake
predator tuner

I know how much these things are new, but considering that they're 2 years old and he needs my oem parts to replace his once taken off, what's a reasonably good offer for all of it? I don't want to low ball, but I don't want to get screwed either.

What do you guys think?

Thanks as always!

Tony

$750-$1000

$1000 + stock parts doesnt seem like a bad deal. I would try to keep your stock exhaust though, I can't tell you how much selling it coming back to bite me in the *** right now!

Thats about $2500 or more worth of parts new.

x2, I agree. Especially if you are both doing your own labor on your own cars.

Good advice Skull.

The point is the seller is trying to go stock before turning in his V. I'm pretty sure he is not trying to trade in his V with no exhaust.

hmm..... i think i might throw down 1000.

Does Jamie have a dyno at his facility? I ask because i may simply go with the seller to Jamie to swap out parts, and was hoping to get a baseline of my car beforehand, and possible tune it there on after.

also, should I wrap or coat these headers or what??

whisler151

I think $1000 is fair. He should take that deal...I would.

It doesn't hurt. I didn't because I did not feel like waiting 2-3 weeks for them to come back. I wanted them ASAP.

Good luck!

Tony,
I sent you an email message. Plenty of local shops can coat your headers in 1-2 days if you chose that option. Good luck, you will love the sound of your car once the headers and exhaust are done, you will never listen to the stereo again.

tony tone

just saw it. i'm going to call him now and see what he thinks.

thanks!

That's the truth!

I was saying in general you should try to hold on to your own exhaust. However if you get your jollys off on disagreeing with me just for the sake of disagreeing, I truly hope that post brought you enjoyment.

And if you don't feel comfortable about the deal, just give me the guy's contact info and I'll check everything out....<heads to the ATM for 1K$>

Yeah, I'd take that deal for $1,000, if that's what he'll take for it all.

Whats up Tony! Hope all is well...

Dude, get those parts for 750-1000. That's a good deal

+1 for Jaimie installing it.

He doesn't shower on the weekends but he's your man.

No problem. It's pretty good now. Same #'s, but the torque curve was moved ahead in the rpm band. Need to hit the track in spring.

that sounds like a good deal but i don't know about trading my stock parts. i'd be hesitant but thats just me.
