Hey it's all opinion if it gets your rocks off go for it, but you paid too much. Here are what his cost should be on this Vibrant 1062 - $98, 5 ft of 3" 304 $110 with bends (or ~$60 if he gets them mandrel bent), T-bolt clamp $3, hardware $1, Flange $12, Gasket $3.25, and $30-50 overhead to pay someone to make 5 welds. So 250-270 and if goes with mandrel bending it will save roughly $100 a pipe. I could have this made with a beter muffler and tip, a vband instead of a coupler clamp, and get it polished for $250. Also an X pipe doesn't reduce the CSA of twin 2.5" tubing just as an FYI the pipes cross each other there is no choke it actually increases overall flow due to harmonics. I would not call that a finished version by a long shot if he made it better by putting a bit more work into the quality of it i would have no complaints but hey someone will pay for it.

Hey man sorry you feel that way. 700 bucks wasn't **** to me for a good sounding single exit exhaust that made 300hp and shredded some weight. You need to add about 150 more dollars at least to your list though. The muffler is 200. And 30 bucks? What you think. It all comes pre cut and lined up haha don't forget they have to pay to ship it and ****. I thought it was a good deal anyways. To each his own man. They brought something cool to our community. No need to bash it and act like they're ripping people off. It's 700 dollars for a good exhaust.

dude i pulled those numbers straight from my price sheets, i place orders with fab shops, i used to track efficiency on an in house welding and fab cell, if soho is spending more than that they are buying the parts from the wrong vender or they have some efficiency issues to look into

Gotcha. Well I have no idea haha I just bought the exhaust because I liked it and I know they do very good work. Oh yea. And I hit 300whp for 700 bucks and lost some weight. So it's awesome in my opinion

SOHO is a good shop, I've been there a couple of times. $700 sounds reasonable to me, but I couldn't go single exhaust when dual is stock. However, their final product does look much better than the prototypes.
