http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391735695587?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT I ordered this exhaust all the way from the USA,at the time it seemed my cheapest option.The packaging was torn,one of the rear down pipes is missing.If i send it back i will probably have to pay shipping cost and loose even more money i haven't got,i could make one of my old down pipes fit but that's not the point.Nothings going right with my bike,at the moment am pissed off.

Contact the seller as fast as possible. It would be a good deal if he sends you the pipe. If not, I've had good luck getting my money back from E-Bay. It might turn out ok for you.

Agree with Steve.

All parts needed are shown in the photo.
If you are missing parts I would contact the seller immediately. Take photos of what was received and take photos of the box showing the damage.

Try to work it out with the seller.

If they don't fix the situation I would get a refund through paypal or ebay if you didn't use paypal.

It shouldn't cost you any more than it already has.

I think it's an old UFO system. I MIGHT have a pipe that will work or Mike Lee's might still be making a similar pipe and can get you a new one.

Three bills USA is a great deal for the system. Be prepared to use ear plugs if you want to listen to your grandchildren down life's road.

In my many years of ebay buying and selling I have had to open a case against a seller once for the item not matching the description and I was successful. Ideally the seller will offset the cost for you. That is a decent price for any aftermarket system. Try seller first as said and have pics of how it arrived, I see he has good feedback so he cant be to bad to work with. Often there is insurance with the shipper so there is another possible avenue. Sorry it happened this way, that does suck. Once she is sorted out the good times will definitely roll. I had to go through a few hoops to get mine right too but the rewards are worth it. Please keep us posted on your progress.

it's the right hand side rear down pipe thats missing,,the other bits in the last photo wasn't wrapped they was loose in the box.I think it's been opened in transit,To be honest i wouldn't mind a replacement part.What a bummer.

 

[caseyjones955]

Yea, that soundd like you may have recourse with seller or shipper. Shipping insurance is common to all carriers in the US, You do have the rational that the system us unusable without the missing part which would hopefuly get you something back. Sounds like you may be able to get just the missing DP too so this might work ou prettyt well. Im not sure but I think the seller would be the one to open a claim with the shipper as soon as he has the pics, this is the exact reason packages are insured.

That would be great if you can sort me one out,the seller said he will accept a returns but it's a lot of messing about for a small piece of pipe.I can't make my mind up what to do,in my neck of the woods vmax exhaust are like gold dust and never sold as a compleat one.

Very nice.But i aint got that sort of money,thats why i got a used one all the way from the US of A.

 

[one2dmax]

He would probably sell you the missing pipe

 

[Fire-medic]

Thanks, Sean, my point exactly.

He would probably sell you the missing pipe

 

[effingidiot]

Thanks every one for your info,the seller is being very good about things.If he can't get me the part he will give a full refund.Or i can probably make one,it's only mild steel.

I can make one out of somthing like this.

 

[Fire-medic]

I think your best bet is to try and contact Star RiderPerformance and see if you can buy a pipe from them, and then ask the original seller to reimburse you. Just make sure you ask for the correct pipe.

I don't think you want to use that. You'll want the proper part.

 

[marsmax85]

Out of curiosity why is it the sellers fault ? How long did it take to get there and how many hands and feet moved that box in transit ? When I ship stuff I always tape edges just to be safe but that box opened somewhere in transit I would think .

 

[caseyjones955]

+1, that may take some fabbing prowess to get right and tight. Seller will reimburse for the missing pipe then that seems like a great solution. Really the shipper should be laying out some scratch for this goof up.
