OK. This one is for ARH and KOOKS, and any of the mudslingers in the room etc.
It costs mucho $$$ to do R&D to develop a good product. Most start up companies do not have the capital to develop the extensive labs to do the R&D. That is why long established companies such as Edelbrock, Holley, Kooks, Borla etc. etc. continue to produce outstanding products. However, with that said, American ingenuity (in the past) is what has built this country.
I personally know a couple of hard core engine/race car builders that have old school exhaust "artisans" that can custom build the best set of headers that will flow and perform as well as any high end manufacturer running an assembly line. And they won't break the bank either. Just because you are a small company doesn't mean you don't have the brains, ingenuity, creativity and talent to create a fantastic exhaust. The beauty of it is... the guys I know are smart enough to tell me they can or cannot do it better then what is on the market. And they do it WITHOUT bashing their competition.
When I see a company bashing another company publicly, nine times out of ten it is because they are floundering financially and sales are way off. I will leave it at that.
PS - Flames gratefully accepted. Thank you.
