I agree with you. I would ask folks to think about this for a minute though...

Just what is it about an exhaust that makes it worth $1,500 or so that so many here pay? I mean think about it, we are talking steel pipe here folks!

I did a little lookup and 304 stainless runs under $10 a linear foot for 2.5" OD.

What do you need maybe 20' max? Then there are the mufflers, hangers, bending...etc.

I think the markup on most exhausts is like 200%. If you sell en mass, then a 20% markup could be sustainable so $600 is about right.

Now, I am not saying that THIS exhaust in specific is a good buy as I don't know anything about it, but you get my point in general, it is possible to sell a decent exhaust at that price.
