+1 I rode around for two days without any mufflers and straight pipe cut off right at axle and it is loud!! Awesome at first, but then just annoying.

Me too. Then I put in lightweight glass packs in place of the muffler and it was what I was looking for ..... Better the stock but not as loud as no muffler.

I still haven't run into a car that lost power due to reduced back pressure yet. Less backpressure = better cylinder scavenging on a N/A or Supercharged application. Pretty sure turbo's are the same, I know turbodiesels are. I don't have much experience with turbo gasoline motors though.

Basically - this was supposed to be a standard ebay auction. After winning the auction, and paying, I got a note from itr456 saying that ebay messed up the shipping costs and under-calculated them. He asked if I would augment the cost and I said that this was a disappointment to me, but I really wanted the mufflers so go ahead and send them and I would pay the shipping difference. It has been many days now, and he is avoiding my correspondence etc...

I checked the OP hasn't been active on this forum since Sept 2013. Maybe something happened?
Personally, I would file a dispute with ebay ASAP while you're still within a reasonable timeframe since auction close (11 days). Just to be safe.

Yeah - I noticed the same thing... The only reason I posted here was because when I googled his ebay user name, it also showed up on this forum and because of his lack of communication, I thought I could try a different avenue and meet him among peers. What douche baggary... Perhaps I am wrong to judge, he could have experienced a family tragedy or something - just frustrating...

Definitely file a dispute with ebay today. I've had to do this, unfortunately twice, with great success both times.
And yea, I agree. It is frustrating to say the least, I've been there before myself. Good luck.
