<x-charset iso-8859-1>My fancy 2.25", s/s, cat-back, mandrel-bent, free-flow muffler, exhaust
system from MagnaFlow for my Jetta was $320. VW's rule!
I think the reason for the ridiculous price is it's not mass-produced. For
anyone thinking about doing it, spare me the lecture. I took business and
economic classes in college and am familiar with R&D and production costs
and such. The price may be reasonable for covering their costs but that
does NOT justify such a high price tag. Obviously meant for those with more
dollars than sense or just money to burn...
