initial fabbing, fitment, material selection. fine tuning the exhaust to eliminate any possible alignment or fitment issues so it can be easily replicated without any future problems. sourcing companies to provide clamps, resonaters (baring that one has not already been designed bythe company), and gaskets. building a jig. sending all the systems off to get plated/coated with either chrome, cermaic, or whatever else they decide. not rocket science, but very time involved. remember, time is money.

THEN u can start cranking them out at a relatively low cost.

and for all the people that compare megan to cnt or topspeed, think about it this way. top speed, cnt, and other companies that replicate existing exhaust can charge such a low price because they skip all those steps and can just go straight to making a jig and cranking them out. whereas megan has a completely unique design than anything else on the market to them, yet can still price things at the same price point as these other companies that are replicating higher end systems. kinda makes u wonder where the money is coming out of to cut costs (more than likely material choice and QC). not saying this is all correct... just a little food for thought

hell maybe they are just that nice..
