Umm... WOW... I thought the shorties were going to get expensive but not that much. I know CARB validation costs $$$ and all that, but still. I have full-length QTP High Velocity Merge Collector headers that are polished T304 that aren't that expensive. Even adding what I paid to find their Y-pipe privately is still less expensive. The intake doesn't look all that good, IMVHO; well, the air cleaner box. The intake tube looks great but it just looks like a regular air filter box with the logo molded into it and then splashed some chrome on. I think it's entirely too much for the mufflers too. I can imagine that installation is included with these prices (didn't they indicate that some time ago?) but I'd rather save that and do it all myself - it's not like I couldn't, and save some money. Maybe because they figure you can roll it into financing it wouldn't matter but I'd save that money and either put it toward more goodies or just go aftermarket. I have to say, for the first time, I'm a little suprised and disappointed with these developments. Unless the shorties add 20 RWHP (yeah right), the intake adds 10+, and mufflers another 10, I think I'll pass and wait on some T304 CARB-legal shorties from SLP and the like and go with a Borla or Magnaflow 3-inch catback system when they come out.

WOW! That's just asking way too much. I'm sorry to b*tch, but wow.
