Default Is this a rip off on ebay ?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Complete-Toyota-...QQcmdZViewItem


Notice on the top right of the description is says"You are bidding on front mount intercooler piping kit for a Toyota Soarer Twin Turbo. This kit is brand new and all pipes are made in Australia. (This does not include the intercooler or hoses and clamps!!!)"

and under that is says "Kit includes:

- Mandrel bent 2.5 inch aluminium pipes

- 600x300x76mm bar and plate intercooler

- All necessary silicone hose

- All necessary hose clamps"

So you think your getting an inter cooler kit and its just the piping !

Well it does say You are bidding on front mount intercooler piping kit
So that should tell you what you're buying... If you read it through I don’t see where the problem is...

yeah take a closer look.... the add contradicts itself all over. i say ask about the misleading listing and hope that he responds with what you want to hear when i was working on my cousin's crx we were looking for 90 bend silicone couplings it said 3 "2.5 elbow couplings" and since we didn't read the description closer we found out, after 1 was delivered that it said "3 ply 2.5 elbow couplings" never hurts to ask the seller

check out the third feedback. maybe the seller meant that other parts are not made in Australia...

it's misleading either way.
