Default I hate when people do this

I hate it when people try to sell stuff that is not what is described

A 2002 C5 exhaust as a Titanium Z06 exhaust....

I hope someone corrects him on it

I already questioned this guy tonight...the response I got was...

"I can only write what the owner/seller tells me too."

Apparently, the ebay seller doesnt actually own the part...he is just selling it as ebay advertising agency for someone else...

I've been looking for Ti exhaust. I saw this ad a while ago, and a few similar to this. I was like WTF! I thought the seller wasn't sure what it was... but seems like they're purposely cheating ... BEWARE !

Yeah the place that is selling that item is an actual store that the actual owner is using to sell the item. So really they do not know anything about it (like they said). All they can do is possibly contact the owner and say they have been getting e-mails saying that exhaust is not what it is.
That is pretty crappy though because that is certainly not the Ti exhaust. Hope this gets straightened out befors someone gets screwed and very upset.

Yes, it is "Caveat Emptor", but, for sure when it comes to private internet, e-bay sellers.
