Why is this so cheap? Tanabe on Amazon

[Justin]

http://www.amazon.com/Tanabe-T70033-Medalion-Cat-Back-1987-1992/dp/B001C3MU5M


Why is this so much cheaper than ANYWHERE else? It's even cheaper than Aaron(by $130) and he's usually the cheapest.

Am I missing something or is this just a deal worth pulling the trigger on?


Edit: Here's Tanabe's website verifying the correct part number... http://www.tanabe-usa.com/touringmedalion.asp?id=7

There was three left before I posted


The seller appears to be Tanabe themselves, so I'm wondering if they're just clearing out their stock and releasing a new model or discontinuing the line.

Well I'm glad I ran across it before they sold out. Always good to save $130, especially as a MK3 owner

Note post #4. I guess my original post was a little mis leading.

My thought process was, buy it now, I still have time before they ship to cancel the order if someone finds a discrepancy.

Time to find a DP and TP then I'll be ready to roll.

Uh, yeah. Ouch. Mine was 535 after tax (which would apply to you too, in WA)

Have they already shipped it? See if you can cancel the order. For future reference checkout driftmotion.com before HPF. They always seem to have excellent prices.

The shape of that Tanabe cat back looks exactly like the HKS 75mm exhaust. Single tipped though.

i had the older version of this one, the Super Hyper Medallion and loved it. Allegedly this one is identical just a little nicer looking and a little quieter so I'm sure I'll be quite pleased

 

[mcammarn]

yes its shipping right now. will be here monday or tuesday.thanks though for that website.. im sure ill be using it

 

[mjsn1]

Only one left, who is going to take it?

 

[te72]

Price went up to $650 as of this post... good old Amazon, find a deal one moment, it's gone the next.

 

[PureDrifter]

what was the original price on amazon?

 

[xzeror]

500 shipped + tax

Amazon has a lot of replicas. "Apexi N1" in the search box and "Apexi N1 Style Muffler" comes up.

:ugh:

so just got my tanabe medallion exhaust put on, and was a little disapointed. its def. alil louder then stock, but i was hoping for louder. i even put on 3in megan downpipe and a test pipe. i def. feel the performance out of it though. jus wanting it a little more loud.

This is definitely the wrong exhaust if you're after loud.

On a related note, my exhaust is sitting next to me as I type. Just got delivered today. Now I just need to find a downpipe so I can install everything.
