Everyone should call them and order that exhaust for that price. I want to see the expression on their face when they realize they are selling it below their cost.

Then it must be a typo theyre selling it at that price :D

If someone pays they cant deny the order and say they messed up on the price right?

went through the whole process to make sure they didn't have something like outrageous shipping costs... only 47 bucks for shipping.

also there's no disclaimer so I believe they would be liable for that price. But... "Right to refuse service to anyone".... so I bet they may get out of it.

lol they dont have to sell you anything at any price.

i could sell HKS's for $45 and you can order them all day long, but unless you pay (or I charge you) I have no liability to you.

I think it's only false if they claim the product does something that it doesn't. Like Apple saying the G4 was the fastest Desktop computer, they were forced to take back that claim.

HKS has level buy-ins. Jason claims that Options is selling below their cost.

They are not. They are selling for $779. They are probably selling it at this price in order to rid themselves of stock that is not moving.

If Jason wants, he can call HKS USA and complain, but it likely would not do much.

Jason, feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss this as I will not say more here.

Thats what i was trying to say a few posts back... because i doubt a company will try to false advertize and put some price up on their site to lose money...

Thanks for clearing this up.

Yes I know the buy in levels at HKS and I also know that options is not a master distributer for HKS. Their selling price is below their cost and my guess is they are trying to get rid of stock that they cant move. It doesnt bother me that they do it.

If you notice what is listed on their site as retail price is wrong. Its $1295 and not $1025. If it were $1025 then their $779 price would seem about right.

I dont really care and not sure why im posting

HKS exhaust for 1k is a rip off. Your better off buying a Racing Beat exhaust that will probably perform better than the HKS
