Partznet.com sells on ebay and I noticed they were selling the v6 with a best offer bid. I put what I thought was a best offer and they accepted so I bought it. The bid was for a new TRD exhuast so I was stoked. They communicated well, were fast to respond to emails and shipped rather fast. I ordered this item about a week ago and received it today.
What I took order of was a trd box with all the proper numbers on it it was busted in a couple spots with the flanges and a couple hangers exposed, I was kind of bummed out but figured hey its an exhuast it' going to get beat up a bit. I opened it on my lunch break and it was dirty, packaged well and everything was accounted for but the only thing protected was the chrome trd tip. I thought that was a little weird, I pulled the instructions out and noticed they were for an FJ cruiser and thought well the box numbers match the 4runner, easy mistake right? I went emailed the seller that t seemed like a used exhaust or even a factory exhaust with a trd tip welded onto it.
I came home a short while ago and pulled it out of the box to verify thing, it is completely dirty (like it was previously installed), the muffler has toyota stamped on it which seems weird since it's a TRD product, the muffler is dented and scratched, there is oil in one of the downpipe flange area and a weird flattend out spot on the downpipe which looks like it may be should be that way but I am not sure. It's strange there are toyota stickers on the pipe and muffler and seems semi legit. I emailed them again knowing they may not have read the first one yet with my new findings.
Anyway what I am trying to get to is, has anyone dealt with them with either positive or negaitve feedback? I went with them because it was a good price (in my mind at least), they are a site sponser, and their communication was good. I am relatively new to toyotas and the 4runner so I might have f'd up going with these guys, but I am not trying to bash them. I hope the respond soon and take care of the situation. what does everyone here think?
