Are these shipped prices? Or is it still price + shipping? Any idea how much shipping will cost?

Jlevi SW
02-05-2004, 10:46 PM
Shipping will be $50. What we're going to do is I'm going to collect payment for 10, and once I have that, I'll submit the order. Then, anyone else can order if they like... but I must have 10 or I will refund all your money. Money order and Paypal are acceptable, and I think you all know I am a trustworthy and reputable seller.

Thanks

How far up does the AA exhaust go? Is it a full cat-back or is it just the muffler section? I might be in on this if it goes all the way up.

it's from 2nd res back.. like most..

only 2 systems exist right now that give you full catback for a 325/330
UUC TSE2 and Supersprint (actually 3 separate pieces that need to be purchased)

I believe Borla is in the middle of testing a full catback for the 325/330..

and RE DMS replaces the second res..

IMO.. at first I was gung-ho on getting a full cat-back.. then after seeing the complete stock exhaust realized it's not gonna be a huge difference.. like 1 HP max to the wheels.. the stock exhaust from cats to muffler is pretty much straight through...

save a dollar and get it from here. They are coming from SPP... where they are in stock. I don't know if KO has them in stock... but what ever happened to sticking with E46Fanatics sponsors like SPP (and myself)?

My bad. I just thought it might save you some trouble trying to get 10 people. I didn't know this was part of your business.

Jlevi SW
02-06-2004, 03:16 AM
Yep. There's also a good chance KO charges more for shipping. Aren't they mostly E36? They don't even sponsor this board, they must not be that special... :dunno:

wow lol im sorry bro , im all into supporting a fellow fanatic but some of the things you say are ridiculous...
but on a serious note, i was def down for this gb (this is an amazing exhaust) but this is not a groupbuy price... you have to understand that if one place sells them for the same price that we get in a groupbuy of 10 people something is wrong here... if you work on the price and get it cheaper than we can get it for without a gb then im def down :thumbup:

yeah if you told me that the exhaust for my car was going to be under 500 i'd been on that some more.

can i get more of a discount if i take a pic of a SPP sticker on my car ;)

Man you shill way too much. It DOES GET ANNOYING. Yeah, something is off if they are selling it for the same price as if you get 10 in a GB. I've supported the board sponsors plenty, but I doubt you'll find people that would actually pay a premium just to buy it from a board sponsor.

No offense.. but as a courtesy you shouldn't interfere with someone's GB like that.. it may be true you can get it for the same price :dunno: but it's not the regular $679 + shipping that AA wants.. and it's through a sponsor so it's a reliable source.... plus it's a major PITA to set up a GB.. so it's not very cool to possibly "ruin" jlevi's hard work in setting it up by having people go to another vendor...

just MHO

not sure why he should apologize for mentioning useful information (price at KO) on a thread. I would not call that interfering. Jlevi can use this info to negotiate a better price.
No offense.. but as a courtesy you shouldn't interfere another member from bringing useful info to light. That would be a disservice to everyone and against the purpose of having an online community that shares knowledge/experience/opinions (unless you think the MAIN point of the forum is for sponsors to make money off members).

Well, like I said I thought maybe he can save some work from setting this up. I didn't know this was his business and I thought he was just trying to help us all save some money. Maybe he can renegotiate with AA to get a even better price? :thumbup:

02-06-2004, 07:15 PM
Yea, this is definately news to me, and it makes me wonder what everyone elses profit margin in this is. I'm going to look around and see if we can cut the price lower.
And for those of you who know what it's like to set up a GB I apreciate your understanding. Also, I don't know about you, but I'd much rather buy from E46Fanatics sponsors than sponsors of other forums, just from the experience of seeing the prerequisites to sponsor this forum.

I'll have a word with some suppliers and we'll get this ironed out. If anything, at least I'm getting it for the same price as KO...but you are right, we should be able to do a little better.

If the prices come down on your exhaust GB, count me in..

Yes, I'm pretty sure you could probably pick it up from SPP directly.

Still waiting to get the final prices from AA ;)
Don't worry guys, I'm committed to getting this group buy to function smoothly.

Thanks for you patience, it will be worth it.

Jlevi SW
02-11-2004, 08:59 PM
Ok here it is. Obviously KO is already selling them at very cheap, and I now see they are cutting pretty much all profits just to beat the competitor. However, I will do this:

E46 DP (325/330) $679 list / KO Price $600 / <b>GB price $590</b>
E46 SP (323/328) $589 list / KO Price $550 / <b>GB price $530</b>
E46 M3 $1199 list / KO Price $1115 / <b>GB price $1050</b>

Shipping is $50. I'm sorry to say that you CANNOT pickup from SPP, because your exhausts are coming hot off the press at Active Autowerke :D. Everyone one has to drop ship, sorry guys. I will take payment to bimmian3@hotmail.com. I want to do paypal because in the event that we don't get 10+ buyers... I can simply click "refund" and you lose no money:thumbup:

I think you'll find these are the best prices you will get on any NEW exhaust from any reputable shop. These come from SPP and myself, so you have 2 reputable sponsors.

Who's in?

Anytime. Here's what's gonna happen... I'm gonna assume we get 10 buyers. You guys can pay me, I'll place each order individually (so you get your exhaust sooner) and take it up with the other parties involved if I don't get 10 buyers. How about we all take care of eachother:
If I agree to place one order at a time, you guys agree to encourage all your friends to get in on this, so we make sure to meet the requirement.

Cool? My paypal is bimmian3@hotmail.com. I know some of you would like to pay me in cash, which is fine. I'm free most of next week.

Come to think of it, for the fee that Paypal takes... I may as well do this
$950+$50 shipping for the M3 exhaust under 1 condition:
Money Order only!
If we don't lose out on the 3% fee, we can afford to give you even better prices.

Yes, that's correct, $950 for a $1200 exhaust. This is simply an unbeatable price. Anyone who has paid money order for the M3 Exhaust will be refunded the difference.

Total comes out to $1000 shipped. Add 8.75% sales tax for California residents.

PM me for a shipping address.
