Stock Muffler - What to Charge for it?

Hi All,
I've got a stock muffler I'm going put in the classified section.

Does anyone have a good idea of what to charge for it?


BTW - I didn't want to spend a lot on exhaust so I had the local muffler shop put on twin mini-turbos usually used on Camaros. I had the resonator removed as well.

The muffler job cost me about $150 and I think it sounds great. It sounds very sporty. About twice as loud as stock, but not obnoxious.

Thanks,
Jamie

I don't know how much you could get, I have seen people here give them away or charge a case of beer for them.

Please if you can put a sound clip on here. How large are the pipes, 3 inch? How does it feel on the butt-dyno. Keep all the muffler it will probably only last two years unless stainless like Mazdas.

Gave mine to the dealer for a RX8 poster and a 20% discount on a bra.

Hey man,
I had a hit and run done on me...destroyed my rear end and muffler...I am in need of one bad. If you'd like to give it away I need one and if you want to sell it I've got about 50 dollars, I know it's not much but that's all I got. Thanks
