We've been dropping hints about it being ~around $200 for the last 6 months. Fast forward to today and we announce it at $184.99 and being on sale for today only at $172.99 and your dissapointed?

For anyone that has connections for stainless material, I encourage you to do some research and find out what the following will cost you.

- 3 inch stainless steel flange
- 3 inch aluminized crush gasket
- roughly 5 foot of stainless steel 3 inch
- 3 inch inlet stainless steel tip
- 2 stainless hangers
- two seperate 45 degree bends

You'll come up with nearly $150 in just material alone.

Then, calculate the robotic tig welding of the whole assembly.

This is not a muffler shop piece made with aluminized steel.

Its a full stainless, full 100% quality piece.

We've priced the muffler exhaust more aggresively than the mufflerless exhaust.

no im not disappointed about the section itself, im disappointed about the actual cost of the catback with the muffler delete, the fact that its only $20 cheaper than one with the muffler, i have no doubt that it is awesome qaulity like the rest of yuor parts i have i just was expecting to see a bigger price difference between the one with the muffler and one without that is all.

We could always increase the pricing of the mufflered exhaust more to widen the spread for you.

But, that would make the guys who want a mufflered system unhappy. Meh.

its a very convenient piece because all it has to be is bolted up. still full stainless steel 3 inch, and a exhaust note you'll love if your looking for a little more volume Did i mention it tends to gurgle a bit here and there haha

I'm still running the factory catback.. ZZP downpipe tho, and I deleted that gay factory muffler the first week I got the car lol. Sounds really great, albeit a bit loud, but it suits my azz just fine. Would there be any gains whatsoever of going to a 3" stainless catback with no muffler, or only if I was running a rather larger turbo.. ie. efr? And is there a catback pkg with no muffler available? Too lazy to check the site lol.. probably a little high in price anyways but I'd like to see a surprise or 2 from this post. Not likely to buy it before I upgrade my engine/turbo next year; if I do what I'm considering doing that is... Thx in advance
