This is what confusess me about these truck exhausts. This and Corsa for 7 or more bills? For some mandrel bent tubing, tips and pipes? Can anyone explain why I can get a full tilt mandrell stainless exhaust with tips, mufflers, flanges and all for 300 bucks TOPS for my Chevelle? And we're talking a true dual set up with an X pipe.

Not trying to knock this or any other exhaust system. Just trying to figure out why or how the 400 dollar price difference is justified. For my learning only, I know there has to be a reason and I am curious what it is. Less or more bends? routing? emmisons? What is it? TIA

Im just gonna tinfoil and jbweld some large paper napkin rolls together in a row all the way back from the cats and then use a coffee can for the muffler. Then i'll connect two chromed out budweiser tall cans to it for the dual tips. You can adjust the pitch and tone simply by punching holes in the coffee can with a nail (nail is an extra accessory for this here kit, so make sure you specify you need the back pressure tuning accessory.....if you all want a GP I will include the nail for FREE!)

22 bucks total. Let me know if you all are interested and i'll send you the plans

Hi guys

The 700 may seem steep, but keep in mind the following:

We only use 304 s/s. Most other exhaust systems that are less money are aluminized or 409 s/s. 409 is what most newer vehicle exhaust systems are made from that turns brown and scaly within a few months of use. 409 is magnetic and will discolor from normal exposure to the atmosphere.

We back all of our products with a lifetime warranty. Our products are American made and we make everything in house. Flanges are 3/8" s/s, laser cut, and all of our material-including the muffler packing material-is 304 s/s.

As for being able to buy a madrel bent Chevelle Exhaust system for $300-it is probably aluminized and will probably last a few years before rusting out. I am not aware of any complete 304 S/S exhaust system for that little.

Our systems will bolt up to the standard cab, short bed. We are planning to fit them on an extended cab in the next few months.

If anyone is interested in a less expsnive version, we could do an aluminized for approximately $499-anyone interested? It would still have the s/s tips, but all aluminzied pipes and steel flanges.

Thanks
Al
