Yep, could be stolen as well. My advice is get it, and if it has ANY damage to it, scrap it and accept the $150 hit and buy a decent used exhaust from a reputable seller.

First picture looks like it was taken outside of a garage/warehouse based on the wall. Dude probably got it from a customer who switched exhausts and didnt want to keep the old one, or a junk yard.

No big deal either way, dont get why he has to act shady though lol.

Sorry, if I suspect the item is stolen I would not buy it.

If the seller doesn't want to be up front about info and/or impatient, I'd just ignore it and move on.

There are no gaskets that come with this exhaust (again, look at the pictures here). It uses a v-band clamp at the rear and it re-uses the stock donut gasket at the front which you already have given my assumption you're on the stock front pipe. The fact that you're asking all these questions and are overly concerned is what leads me to believe that part.
And yes the pictures on the site show 2 bolts but just try to re-use your stock ones and if they're not working out go buy new ones that are going to be under $5.

So meet up, if it's OK, buy it. If you're not comfortable, then walk away.

If it's missing the v-band clamp just buy a new one. At the end of the day you're still way ahead on price vs buying this brand new.
