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.
