Synapse Turbo exhaust system

Well i went by Synapse today to get my synapse engineering BOV flange welded. Discussed alittle about the exhaust rumor and one lucky guy actually purchased their exhaust HOWEVER, i was told that he's not a member on here, so no chance for vids. The exhaust is 3" Stainless steel with a light weight(~2.5 LB) Burns stainless steel muffler. Heres the killer, price is around $1000...... which is prob. why he's not advertising it on here. Too many people are gonna wanna flame him for the steep price. Either way, just want to put out to the community about another part available for the SS/TC. I DO plan on purchasing this exhaust at a later date, along with their intake and finish it off with tuning and dyno runs. I'm not going to be a brand *****, sticking with all Synapse Turbo

then they should have worked on making it cheaper. This is a best bang for the buck car, not a porsche. Not too many have $1000 to throw around for an exhaust that will get you 5 whp

all the above..why in the holy hell would i pay 1000 bucks for a exhaust hell thats the very reason why i kept rethinking my plan when i go on their site to get that dp they offer..i just dont see myself buying that jus because they feel they were the first ones to come out with it,, big blip i dont really care about that. i want the most performance for the best buck..i have a house and a family to think about also $1000 bucks can do alot for them.

BOTTOM LINE:
1.) Synapse has an exhaust for ~$1000
2.) I'm just letting the community know of another product available for the SS/TC

Please, no more "bickering." Thanks

Yea if it was with DP thats not that bad of a deal.

Just saying though. As a company you should never be "Scared" Or Sceptical of Posting a Price of a part that you are making.

I have seen a few vendors announce pricing on some items and then the members complain that they are too expensive so then they lower their prices so you can't tell me that vendors are offering the best prices they can. Granted I know they need to make a profit but $1000 for a piece of steel piping? come on now, I wasn't born yesterday.

This is the primary reason we have not announced this system to the public, we have made it for someone that wanted the lightest and best performing system for a roadrace car. The muffler alone we use on the system cost $300, and then there is 2 sets of v-band assemblies and all 3" ss tig welded. I wouldn't expect everyone that has a street car would be willing to pay that for the system. We didn't see any reason to build a cookie cutter cheap system, anyone can do that, instead we choose to use the best materials available.

From where? Please tell.

Edit. I believe I found the place. mandrel exhaust systems. com but it says on the website non turbo models. Did you just buy the model that says saturn ion 3 bolt flange?
