Used NISMO Exhaust Pricing Question

[kruelhouse]

Guys,
I'm interested in a NISMO exhaust system (mid-pipe, muffler, and extension) that I found on another forum, and I'm trying to figure out what would be a good price to pay/offer for the exhaust that would be fair for both parties.

It is in excellent condition, with no dents, scratches, or holes (according to the pics and seller).

So if you were in my shoes (or the seller's) what would you be willing to pay (or accept)?

Show us the pics, then we'll give you the offer price. Need to see those welds

 

[kruelhouse]

Thanks! I've requested that the seller email more pics so that I may closely examine the welds.

Here are a few pics that I pulled from the ad:

Usually $500-700 depending on condition I'd guess.

Those are expensive new. It really depends how desperate he is willing to get rid of it. If he doesn't a price posted, maybe offer $500 local pickup? At worst, he would tell you no.

 

[Moose350]

$550 is what I would offer if its listed higher than that.

Thanks for all of the feedback guys!

Also be sure to check the y-pipe flex joints for fraying.

That Y does look toasty, doesnt it?

 

[kruelhouse]

Yeah, the Y is thoroughly cooked, but since I'm running an AWD setup, I'm only buying the mid and muffler. I'll source a new Y that will fit.

I would still see the welds on mod before commiting to price.

at least you wont have to buy an midpipe extension piece since this one looks like it was off a G.

Yes, you can see the extension piece on the y-pipe. But the tips will still need extending. I'd offer$450-550.

Indeed. That is a plus!

 

[dtruong112]

Did you buy it?

 

[kruelhouse]

Not yet. I'm expecting detailed pics from the seller this weekend... Stay tuned!

not sure if you are aware: for the nismo exhaust to fit properly on the fx, u must extend the tips from the exhaust.

seems like it's in great shape. good luck.

Yeah, I knew that and inquired at the dealership about a good exhaust shop to do the work. One of the techs there has a nicely modified G35, so I usually request him whenever I'm in.

As it turns out, the muffler was clogged (with what, I don't know), and the seller is having an exhaust shop check it out to see if it can be repaired. I just decided that it would be best for me to pass on it altogether.

 

[StuLax18]

Yeah I saw the ad and was going to make sure you knew that.

"It is in excellent condition, with no dents, scratches, or holes (according to the pics and seller)."

maybe a good idea to move on
