Discount performance exhaust review?

Anybody bought from them or have any experience dealing with them that they can share? I'm looking at buying a magnaflow cat back from them as they are the least inexpensive I found. I emailed for availability and they wrote back and said they have 15 in stock.

Bandit used to be the cheapest, but $295 is dirt cheap unless they gouge you for shipping.

I say go for it, but I would check two things: shipping cost and if it's first quality product, not open boxed return or bent/crushed pipes ect.

I went through the initial ordering process to see shipping and it's less then $40 shipped UPS ground. That's really fair to me. I'm ready to pull the trigger but it's worth the time to me on such a big purchase to do a little recon first.

Will do. I emailed a few times with different questions and got responses right away from them. Good dealings so far. I believe they just run an online store front and drop ship direct from Magnaflow per my conversation with them. If that's the case it's essentially buying factory direct for half the price.

Re: Discount performance exhaust review?

I requested a quote from bandit and they emailed me a price I couldn't pass up. After agreeing to purchase it, they just lowered the price to match the quote on their website until 12:00 AM PST. If the price goes back up, just contact banditexhaust@gmail.com and let them know the part, qty and ship to zip code.

Re: Discount performance exhaust review?

I just bought this magna flow exhaust for $361.00 flat, part 16829 like mentioned above, no shipping fees...The listing price is $383.51. I clicked on the make an offer button and requested $350 and they met me at $361 I bet if you offered them $300 they would go lower! Magna flow sells this same exhaust on their site for $612. Summit sells it for $473...I think I got a deal! http://www.pro3i.com/shop/magnaflow-16829-955.html

They sell the Magnaflow 16829 for 83-92 camaro. It's hella cheap too. I ordered it even though I run an 82. hope it fits otherwise it'll be up for sale here lol
What did you pay for that?

Re: Discount performance exhaust review?

Results are two thumbs up! Showed up today on time and was definitely a drop ship from Magnaflow. I'm now going to purchase a Magnaflow cat from them also since it's cheaper from them than the cheapest test pipe I found anywhere online. All in all a good experience.
