    Nate,

    The only reason I can support for that response is that fleabay charges the seller for any pics past one. So he probably does not want to pay for more pics and decrease his profit if any on it.

    Now, if he refused to send any directly to you if you give him an email to send to, then yeah, hiding something.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      I could be wrong, but it looks like those headers might not have enough clearance for the XS oil filter cup. Hard to tell.

        I did ask him to email them and even put my email in the original message I sent him.

        Phill, I don't think the 4-1 supertraps allow for easy oil changes.

        I get what you meant.

          would there be any number on the header to verify it is a real ST header?

            like he would give info anyways.

            I asked why he would not provide anymore pics and he has ignored me now since this morning.

              It must be a genuine Supertrapp, the exact same pictures are posted on the UK site's exhaust identifier thread.

                headers

                i seen this on ebay and coppied the pics, put them in my photo editing program and lighten up th pics so i could get a better look, it looks like there has been another pipe welded to the header, if you wanted to make the the supper trapp fit better you could redo that short section of header pipe at a muffler shop and be good to go, they look like they are a miss match of something somebody did to make it work to me, there is 16 hours left on the bid at 76 dollars, to rich for my blood for something cobled up, i know every thing i have bought of of ebay always looks worse when i get it home.
                Good luck

                    I've had pretty good luck, so far. I've made 16 purchases on eBay, and everything has been exactly as described. But then, most of the items I've bought have had pretty good pictures posted, most with close-ups, and I also look into the seller's feedback before buying. That's a big one. If I see something in there I don't like, I move on to the next seller, even if it's more expensive.

                      Yep, my ebay luck has been pretty good. Only two times have I had problems, once when the vendor didn't ship me the part, and didn't respond till I challenged it with paypal, at which point he almost instantly gave me a refund (and I don't think he is still around, but I'm not sure) and the second where they send the wrong brake pads, which they corrected as fast as I have ever seen. Looking at the package with the wrong pads, it appear to be that they put the wrong part number on the box, as the vender marking and the manufacturer marking don't match on the wrong pads.
