Despite their beautiful finishes and workmanship I would say that they aren't worth the premium unless you're putting together a true show car or a finely tuned race car where every pound will count.
The titanium exhaust I can understand, but how do you explain their HFC's that appear to be SS? They are 4 times the price of the Stillen and Berk parts!
