A lot of good feedback on ebay. Anyone ever buy an exhaust system from them? Curious as to who these guys are.

Thanks, good to hear! However, they don't have a number listed.. do you know the company name? I'd like to contact them directly/outside of ebay if possible.I bought a tail pipe for my '66 Imperial from them a couple years ago. I dealt with them directly and all went well, good pipe, no problems. Cheaper than a local shop would do it for including shipping ! And no 10.00 Shop fee my local Independent shop wanted to charge me.
Ok, how does that work? Then who produces the exhaust systems, and for such a low price?He is a drop shipper. Just be aware of that.
No technical knowledge. He does the Year, Make, Model thing on his eBay seller package he bought at 3:00 A.M.
He bought a software package that has all the aftermarket exhaust systems manufacturers provide to distributers.Ok, how does that work? Then who produces the exhaust systems, and for such a low price?
Thanks Dave, Good to see your happy with the work!Just had a 2 1/2" to mufflers, 2.25" to rear exhaust done at my local shop for '65 Chrysler 383, dual complete $850 if you need a comparative price. (They did it right with aluminized tubing and stainless mufflers)

Ok sure, but who is manufacturing these C-body exhaust systems so cheap, and for a drop ship market? Why don't we know about them directly? Why would anyone pay Waldron or Accurate $1,100. when the same thing sells at $450. shipped? I'm miffed... oh I see now you've appended your post, answering my "who" question. So Mexico and Canada, eh?He bought a software package that has all the aftermarket exhaust systems manufacturers provide to distributers.
You give him Make Model Year, he punches it in on his desktop, everything all the aftermarket manufacturers info popup.
He give you the price, you give him CC#, sale done. Order goes to appropriate distributer of that manufacturer. They take instant cash transfer from eBay seller and they ship it to you from their warehouse.
There's a LOT of aftermarket manufacturers. Especially in Canada and Mexico. That's why so cheap.
You vote with your wallet. Don't get mad at me.Ok sure, but who is manufacturing these C-body exhaust systems so cheap, and for a drop ship market? Why don't we know about them directly? Why would anyone pay Waldron or Accurate $1,100. when the same thing sells at $450. shipped? I'm miffed.
Haha! Not mad.. just curious.You vote with your wallet. Don't get mad at me.
Another note, the original exhaust for these cars was steel tubing. Good if you drove it every day, would probably last 4-5 years. The modern stuff with aluminum and stainless will last 20-25 years or probably as long as you do.

Waldron gave me a quote on their dual aluminized steel setup for Mathilda at $426.00 + $100 for shipping - $45 if I let them cut the pipes into sections foor easy shipping. That comes to $481 for their work. HARD to beat!

Not even close, at least in the northeast... "Modern" production aluminized pipe is thinner to begin with, and the places they bend it scrapes through the coating, along with any swedging or welded areas. That's where it rusts. If you get 5 years from a system, even with the car stored indoors and driven sparingly, you're lucky. I actually paint all the store-bought systems I buy now. It adds a few years to them. Custom shops use a thicker base tubing, which rusts the same way, but takes longer to do so. Only way you'll get away true long life is to use stainless material throughout.
They look like my best bet too. They're close enough I can pick-up and haul full length pipes in my car saving a bit of coin.
