Is it REALLY worth it, or is this a case of buying a pair of nike instead of rebok for the names inflated prestige. I suppose if your the type that has money to wipe the bum bum with then buying the most expensive wouldnt be a consideration. But I just dont see why this exhaust is so expensive, its not that much better at all.
Material plus labor can be a large increase in price, plus the cost of shipping from another country plus taxes and then factor in the exchange rate for the Yen to USD is horrible.
I believe there is an American company who sells a Ti exhaust for the 370z for under $2,000 which is more on par with what you would expect without additional fees and exchange rates.
