Default HELP!!! Borla S-Type???!

Okay guys so I found a guy that has a borla s-type exhaust the version with 2 tips (I think called classic?) and x-pipe (also Borla) with stock cats on it, He claims it only has 3000 miles on it and he wants 500 for the whole thing... but I have to get it today because someone else wants it that is close by. So my question is: Is the whole borla x-pipe and s-type with 3000 miles on it worth $500? seems like a good deal to me but im an impulse buyer! this forum always seems to know the rite answers Thanks in advance!

Pipes really cant have mileage on them. The cats can and 3000 is nothing. Inspect the pipes and if they look undamaged, $500 seems like a good price.

If it's in good shape, then yes, I'd say $500 is a good price.

Default Got Them

Alright Thank You to all that replied. I ended up waiting and bought them yesterday at $450 for the whole set-up! They had black paint on the tips but I used some brake cleaner and got it all off now to polish them up and put them on! any recommendations on what polish to use? Thanks again everyone!

Although I've never used it, Borla makes a polish/cleaner. Looks like it has good ratings. You can buy it on Amazon or factory direct through Borla.

Borla Stainless Steel Exhaust Cleaner & Polish part # 21461

Good luck, post pictures of your setup when finished!
