Default false advertisement?

i was browsing around on ebay looking for a ths exhaust system for my 3.3 t maxx. and i came across this-

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170766831541

as you can tell, the box is ths, but that pipe and header look like a stock exhaust off a 2.5 t maxx?

It's a pawn shop so they probably have got no idea what it is or what it does.

Pawn Stores aren't hobby stores, they pay next to nix for items from people in a financially vulnerable situation, often the only expertise they have is that of power over the needy.

You are right that is no way a ths at all> That is 100% stock plastic pipe. If you want a nice pic of the ths exhaust go to there site or tower. the have a spring loaded connection not a zip tie one for some reason i cant thing of the proper term for it. I will say ths is the way to go for the maxx no doubt on that at all and you get a great header too.

Well since this is a THS 1045



I would say the pawn shop got burned. Someone sold them their stock system in the THS box.

I sent them a message letting them know they were scammed.
