Just look at the many variations FI has to offer, I dont think he hit all that with 2 trys. When I picked my CBE the sound and looks were a huge part of the decision, so just getting a tone that people like can mean trying different mufflers, sizes and locations and pipe bending to get the right freq as each engine type produces its own unique freq to begin with.

Now do I think an exhaust should cost 2k? no Can a company copy an already existing design and modify it slightly and charge $500 yes. Getting an exhaust out for a new vehicle before others will have some R&D and mkae it cost more to be the first.

If FI clearly did extensive experimentation then I exclude them from my criticism (whether or not it justifies the price)... did stillen do that? Looks like a better flowing OEM set-up to me...
How about Greddy?

I dunno dude, you do generaly get what you pay for in retail, BUT if you are paying for a tollerable sound and a free flowing exhaust, it aint exactly rocket science either, and shouldn't command such a high price.

However, if a highly specific exhaust note, color of tips, whatever bells an whistles are features someone (not prepared to develop a custom set-up) desires, then I guess that person will be happy to pay whatever he or she can afford... so fair enough.

If you guys are looking for a affordable exhaust and don't want to pay 1000+ because of just the name.

Wait for the CNT Racing one I have one in stock now and will install it tomorrow will have install photo and sound clip tomorrow.

I've always thought that the prices for the Z is ridiculously overpriced. I would try the obx catback out but eBay doesn't have it anymore.
