That depends on a lot of stuff... People are paying for more than just welded stainless when they go for a known good exhaust. They are paying for perfect fitment, vendor support, quality pipe / coating / muffler packing, etc. The fact that some exhausts are made here in the US or Japan also means something to their respective buyers. No one really knows anything about these random Chinese / Taiwanese exhausts, or the companies behind them. The buyers are saving money, but also taking a risk. What if the exhaust was welded incorrectly, will he or she get support from the vendor or company when things go wrong? If it all works out, wonderful, but what if it doesn't? Some people would rather spend more money for peace of mind.

To pintsize. Meet me at the drag strip and I'll show you what a custom dual exhaust can do. No need to ride in your Z. I already have one.

Like I said earlier, there is no need to spend a ton of money for an exhaust. A good local muffler shop can get you a true dual exhaust with resonators to the axle backs for 300 bucks with perfect fitment and will fix any issues if they arise. Unless you jack up your car no one will even notice your $2000 exhaust system you have unless you tell them and in all reality the exhaust just does one simple thing, air flow movement. The less bends you have the better and galvanized steel has been working for years. So peace of mind will make the exhaust system better? Don't think so because if you did have issues you would be at the exhaust shop anyway fixing it

Uh huh I'm poor. Get real but munch. I'm not into spending my money on just a name product that costs three times as much. There must be a reason you call yourself slowz. Sounds nice but you ain't getting anywhere. Meet me at the drag strip and I will show you what my cheap exhaust will do to your name brand and prove to you that you just wasted about a thousand bucks buckaroo. So you boys and girls toss your money into anything you wish but do not degrade those who cannot afford a premium exhaust as you call it or who really think it's a waste to spend that much on it. Hell, I probably make more money than you do.

If you make sooooo much more money than me then why did to you have takeda short rams that don't do much. You could have bought a used Stillen g3 for close to that price and achieved better gains. I also beg to differ your intake/exhaust Z will run down my full bolt on/nitrous Z on the strip lol. But ok

How this all started was I was going to purchase a manzo exhaust and got all kinds of flack about it. People suggested FI so I had my mind set on a FI exhaust...couple days transpire and my BIL told me he was selling his exhaust bc he was upgrading to an Ark or Borla I think. He sold me his(which was an invidia exhaust) and I posted a pic saying it was FI bc it was in my head and people got into an uproar about it. I was like is it that serious that I said the wrong thing? After that post I just check out the forum for DIY sections and what not bc I thought I joined a community of Z owners, not a bunch of babies always having rude comments about every other post. Sorry for the rant guys but geesh...let's just help each other out instead of seeing who's "Z" is bigger...
