Default Catback price opinions -

Hey guys,
I know this may be an annoying question but here goes:
You are all aware of the Borla stinger Four tip catback which is about 800 bucks new. A local exhaust guy has this kit that was installed for 2 weeks then removed because the woman driver thought it was too loud. Still looks new. Selling it for 600 bucks. Good deal ? What would you pay?

Good price IMO. That's not even broken in yet. If it's in good shape with no damage due to install, get it if you want it.

I bought my 4-tip round Borla Stingers for $550 brand new during a huge group purchase a couple of years ago. Anything NEAR that price is a great deal, IMO. I say go for it!

I purchased my 2 tip Borla Stingers within the last week for $525 including shipping. Got the Borlas installed today -- the sound is absolutely wonderful.

If they're in the condition you say and they're what you really want (not a spur of the moment thing), then I'd say it's a good deal.

I paid 679 for new quad tip stingers. Sounds like a good deal if they are like new.
