Tell ya what, there is something that we do over on the corvetteforum.com from time to time called "pay it forward" (gee wonder where we got that name huh
). This is where a member offers something of value to them to fellow members for free. I think that since it is Christmas and all I will offer this brand new muffler up for FREE(buyer pays shipping though). I have given away items on the corvette site a couple of times and have always been repayed in some indirect way so I definitely believe in the system.
I would like to give this to somone whe needs it rather than someone just trying to make a buck on a free item so please keep in mind that some of us are better off than others and this is the time to think of your brothers and sisters here on the forum (OK enough preaching).
Reply to this thread with the reason that you NEED the muffler and why you should get it. I will give it away for the cost of shipping before Christmas. Let the Holiday Season begin........................................

I really appreciate your effort with this pay it forward thing. I think your setting a good example for the rest of us. I cant believe that no one wants it either. I personally dont need one (proud member of the HKS family), but I know someone out there must've needed this and probably didnt see it.

Yeah I changed the title to try and get it noticed but did not want to put "free muffler" because then everybody, no matter if they need it or not, would be all over the thread. Like I said I will leave it on until Friday and if there are no takers then I will sell it locally and feel good that at least I tried to do something good. I will try to give something else away next month but dont know if it will be this good. Oh well, thanks for the support brother....................
Great idea...I don't think anyone "needs" a muffler though. I would rather see you make some money from it. Thats my present to you..not taking it and letting you make some cash 
I do however "need" a turbo kit if anyone else is in a giving mood. I'll pay forward times 10 for that

Being inspired by ccajun... I have a set of reverse indiglo gauges I'll give away for the cost of shipping (wich can't be much..I'm thinking like 5 bucks)
I'll give details about the gauges when I get home. ccajun...I'm not trying to hijack your thread, so if you feel this is a thread hijacking let me know and I will delete my entry immediatly.

I have just bought alot of **** lately so I am going to hold up. Also I need to decide if I really want just the lip or if I am going to try to get a body kit. I will keep in touch and really appreciate your offer to help me out on that deal! Thanks

YaY...... Hopefully this catches on.
I still have the indiglo gauges (for a manual)
I just remembered I also have a muffler if anyone wants it. It's a no name brand with the slightly upturned dul tips. I'll see if I can find a pic. Both are free if you pay for shipping.
Mods...since me and ccajun are being so generous...how about a free sticky to let this thread be seen. That can be your little christmas gift.

OK here is what the muffler looks like. It has never been used. I bought it from ebay then decided to wait and go custom when I do a swap.

Speed....you're the man.
Any other members want to be generous and share? I know some of you have stuff thats just laying around not being used. Why bother selling on e-bay for a couple of bucks when you can help out another 7thgencivic owner?
Also...you don't have to really be down on your luck to pick this stuff up. Just as long as you do what the title says and pay it forward.
