that sucks man...I don't know what the guy wanted for them, but if you still want shorties I got mine through summitracing for like $130 I think (give or take a few) but if you want longtubes go to new era performance's website they got the set for $259...it's black painted, but you can always spray them with the high temp paint ceramic color. I did on my shorties and they look b.a! Hope you get your money back though.
