EDIT;
so you are saying its 700$ for the parts you mentioned
then
200$ for the pipes.
then
300$ to fabricate
then
800$ for the header and HFC of your setup

700 + 200 + 300 + 800 = 2000$ total



that's good but do you have the nice feature that my setup has ?
2 x resonator or 2 HFC if you want to stay legal on the road but want the advantage on the track with less restriction in 10mins ?
no need of any gasket but the header to engine head which you can re-use unless you bent it yourself.

you didn't mentioned but how will you have the Y-Pipe made ?
200$ of piping will do the whole setup ? I doubt it.
have you got the exhaust made yet ... probably not.

then will your Y-pipe be efficient ? if you think you are only getting 200$ of piping.
will it be capable to outflow the setup I made ? hell no.. let me tell you on this.

there isn't any misalignment in the exhaust like it can be with normal 2 bolt flange.
There is also a difference in price when using cheap tubing and bent .... my kit does NOT have any crush bent .. ONLY mandrel bent tubing.
so with V-Band and the way I machined them.. you keep the whole ID of the whole exhaust the same . no turbulence and even less because I machined them to remove the usual inside lips.

Im sure im missing some argument now but im gonna stop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I bet 100$ that you didn't actualy read the whole sale thread.

I mentioned (Edit; I thought I mentioned) the price on mostly everything.

lets do it again I guess.

- Modified Momentum headers (not the z1 copy) the copy goes for 895$
- 2x Vibrant resonator 2.5'' 4'' x 12'' goes for = 59.95$ each time 2 = 119.90$
- 2x Vibrant catalyzer 2.5'' 4'' x 10'' = 129.95$ each time 2 = 259.90$
- 1x Vibrant Resonator 3.5'' x 18'' = 102.95$
- 8x Modified V-Band flange Stainless Steel = this alone is 750$ in parts (2.5'' & 3.5''
- 2x transition (Burns stainless website) for the header = 39$ each time 2 = 78$
- 1x Megaphone (Burns stainless website) 1.5" to 3.5" 304 Stainless = 58.43$
- 1xVibrant Muffler 3.5'' Muffler = 149.95$
- 1x 5' long 2.5'' 304 Stainless steel tubbing = 95.95$
- 1x 5' long 3.5'' 304 Stainless Steel tubbing = 135.95$
- 2x U-Bent *Mandrel bent* 2.5'' 304 SS = 52.95$ each time 2= 105.90$
- 2x U-Bent *Mandrel bent* 3.5'' 304 SS = 99.95$ each time 2 = 199.95$
- 3x Sensor bung (3 installed) = 2$ each time 3 = 6$

add everything
895.00$
119.90$
259.90$
102.95$
750$.00$
78.00$$
58.43$
149.95$
95.95$
135.95$
105.90$
199.95$
6$
total = 2957.88$
Don't forget TAX !!! here its 13%
Also don't forget shipping.

So I used a bit more than 1x 3.5'' U-Bent
I used a bit more than 1x 2.5'' U bent
I used 90% of my straight 2.5'' tube
I used 50% of my straight 3.5'' tube
I machined the V-Band flange on the lathe for a better flow transition. 150$ not included but on my time.
I didn't included the price to make the custom rear bracket to hold the rear sub-frame brace.
I didn't included the attachment for the muffler (Used and modified the OEM one of the EM exhaust)
Estimate of 60 hours of cutting/machining/research/ TIG welding/
Not including the welding cost of the machine and argon gas + filler
I didn't mentioned previously on this post but there is a 100' for DEI exhaust wrap installed ... (80$ at summit racing)

Why did it cost way more than your 2000$ ??

first off ,, include the HEADERS which already take more than 1/3 $ of your total price which you probably missed something.


If any other concern on the kit . either read back from the beginning why this complete exhaust was made for.
If you still need some answer I will be hhappy to answer them



EDIT; so If im selling this whole exhaust setup for 3000$ shipped (its about 250$ anywhere in the US no insured) ...
I did mentioned the complete exhaust setup was estimated at over 5000$ if you account for everything
2750$ +shipping cost = 3000$ is the actual best N/A power Deal you will ever have ...
or 4500$ for the whole intake/exhaust kit.
64$/HP (Im positive the kit can easily do 75whp over stock which would be priced at 60$/HP )

Since my previous exhaust was actually made to be within a certain Decibel zone. but still free flow and prototype muffler that wasn't that great and did 68whp over stock . this new exhaust setup is quite a step higher quality and proper research was made.
