Default M2 exhaust

Does anybody know where I can find an M2 axle back exhaust for 2006 IS350 for around 200-225 shipped, because I have read many recent post of users finding it on ebay for this price but the cheapest I can find right now is 299 shipped.
thanks in advance

Price went up over the years because of everyone buying one. Good luck on finding it at that price. May want to also consider one of the other replicas that are being sold for the IS.

Yeah with demand, the price has definitely gone up. It probably won't be going back down to $200 shipped till demands fall off again.

Is 300 shipped still a good price though, or is there something better for that price?

For $300 shipped, I would personally rather just wait till a used Tanabe or HKS comes up in the classifieds.

I also couldn't bring myself to pay $300 shipped for a replica that was selling $150-200 at first

Haha. Killa, no offense but:

$300 for the M2 is still well worth it. If your seller forgets to send you bolts, you can acquire them from home depot or autozone for less than a few dollars.

300 is worth it but there are a few sellers selling them for 250 -260 the ad just doesn't say m2 but you can tell it's a m2... I don't think there is nothing special about a m2 as in technology. It's basically a copy of a tanabe exhaust. Kinda like buying those sketchers Nike free run style shoes for 44.99 instead of buying the Nike free runs for 84.99 lol.

What you guys are seeing is deception most likely. They change the specs of a exhaust on the ad by a tad bit to make you thunk it's different but it's really the same. I tried to get a account with m2 to sell them through my business online and on eBay . They have a online pricing master system which is 220-300 pricing for eBay to keep all vendors competitive . So what some of the vendors are doing is making new slightly changed ads to make it not look like it's a m2 but it really is. But the other vendors don't get mad cause they really don't know . So that guy is selling more of the same exhaust while the others are sticking to the pricing guidelines. Only selling a few of them. 50 bucks is enough to sway anybody's decision on a 300 dollar purchase these days.

Cost for this exhaust is only 89.99 plus freight. When you buy at least 35 of them. So there is alot of room for mark up

I sell Oakley sunglasses at a store I own in va. And we got pricing guide lines and you need a separate license to sell the online. So whenever I need to unload some glasses I just sell them as slight used or displays on eBay or something. Long as oakley gets there cut it's overlooked :-)
