125 USD delivered. Wow. That was a bargain!

I've been looking for one for a long time. They were new around 2.300 euros over here in germany. The US PSE was not officially available in Germany, because they are too loud.

Because they are made from stainless steel they allways can refurbished to look like new at the outside.

Great deal Chuck! I've seen people pay ten times that much for one. $125 delivered! I wonder if the seller lost money on that deal because of shipping cost?

Just weighted it.... 32.2 pounds. The PSE is much weightier at 50+ pounds.

It was a good deal. It was listed poorly. No mention of PSE.

I bet he didn't make much. It was shipped FedEx and the package weighted in at 56.9 pounds. I am guessing it wasn't cheap to ship.

Thanks for doing that.

The Fister is lighter then I thought it would be. I'm looking at the Borla muffler and they show a shipped weight at 29 pounds from their website. Wonder what it actually weighs?

I have to bow my head in shame. I have always polished Boxster exhaust by hand, but this one was very weathered. So... I first used a 2" 320 grit Scotch Brite Polishing Ball on a power drill along with Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream. I had gotten the tube of Blue Magic in a gift bag when I entered the Boxster in a PCA Concours d'Elegance event. It was good stuff for taking the top layer of grit. I then used brake cleaner, Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish and applied this by hand using 0000 super fine steel wool . This cleaned it up more and added some shine. Lastly, I put several coat of Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish on by hand rubbing it in well then buffing it with a soft cloth. I would guess I put 10 to 12 hours into the polishing of it.
