I don't know any of these guys and I'm not typically litigious but if it was me at this point I would file a claim in small claims court. If it is in writing that there were no cracks (not "I don't think so" or "I'm not sure", etc.) and there were indeed cracks a judge is going to rule in the favor of a plaintiff especially if the cracks weren't easily visible. (I think the buyer had to wire brush it to see the cracks) The seller has an obligation to investigate questions, validate answers and stand behind the claim(s) he is making. A seller doesn't have a legal right to make claims and then say sorry "Buyer Beware". If there were no claims made, it is the responsibility of the buyer to vet the quality outside of any claims. What the seller should have said that he "wasn't aware of any cracks" which then makes it the buyers responsibility to vet. Sellers (& buyers) think it's always "buyer beware" which is usually the case because oral claims can't usually be proved because they are oral and not in writing. It doesn't mean they say anything they choose.
The argument of just fix it, keep it and enjoy it is weak. Unless you don't have any regard for hard earned money, I'm sure most of us buy these toys knowing that at some point we'll recoup 50%-60% of our toy spend when we part out our cars. It allows us to justify spending $3k on an exhaust. In 2-3 years from now he's not going to get his $1,500-$1,800 for this damaged exhaust. Also, every time he looks at his car/exhaust he's going to think how he got jacked. Pay $3k to feel like shit. No thanks. |

Why would he give $500? Luis drove to him. And luis got a quote from max psi to fix the exhaust for $200. Why would luis shell out another $300? Now it seems you're trying to scam luis? Luis did not know it was cracked, but since we are all enthusiast here, we're well aware of the cracking problem. Key word, is problem. If he is offering to make ends meat and pay the amount to fix it, which is $200 then that should be the end of it, instead of every forum member trying to dissect every square inch of this. I'm not playing anyone's sides. But I'm this situation I will vouch for luis, as I have bought parts from him in the past. Accept the price to fix it, and enjoy your new and Better than oem exhaust. Simple.

I'd stick up for my buddy too, and honestly Luis might very well be a good dude, if that's the case what is the problem here? Is he hurting this much for the $3k? Just refund it, repair your reputation and move on. If Buyer takes his to small claims it will be a much bigger pain in the ass for Luis than to simply take it back have it fixed and sell again. |

http://www.courts.state.md.us/legalhelp/smallclaims.html F80er - start looking into this, then google "default judgment" (in the event Luis doesn't show up). Seems like you're spinning your wheels trying to work with him, you have plenty of evidence, go get the work done and get your money back in court. Good luck. |

Im wondering why I'm still subscribed to this thread? Morbid curiosity maybe. Drama drama drama. I guess this is an American forum after all. Take the $200 and get it fixed. Enough with the BS.

Update: Luis and I came to an agreement that is satisfactory to both of us. I am keeping the exhaust and will have it repaired, but according to Max PSi their fabrication department is closed for a month so will look for someone locally. Will start a thread once its repaired so that everyone can see what it takes to fix an MPE.
At the very least this thread will document the life of the exhaust if and when I decide to sell it. |

I was wondering why this thread was so long as has been at the top for days.
I'm glad I decided to click it today and find out why.

Wow. He should be ban for scamming. No wonder he was asking $1 a mile for delivery initially. When everybody was commenting about the delivery, lol his same friend defended his delivery fees. What a douche. If it was me i will ask a full refund and go all out.
