The Borla is expensive and this is more.

They are all overpriced really for mufflers.

You do get everything from the primary cat back, all in 3” plumbing. A bit more than just mufflers. And if you get headers later, you’ll want the full system.

I made an effort to negotiate a discount for a full write-up with videos of before/after and the install, but no luck. I've decided that I'm still giving them a try and think I will place my order tonight. I was hoping to get the cost of a go-pro covered as part of the discount, because all that I've got is my iPhone. I'll let you guys know what I think, but videos might not be helpful coming from an iphone.

No discount from an unknown manufacturer to promote themselves on a huge forum.
Lame.

Marketing doesn’t seem to be their strong point. They could afford to give a few of these away if it gave them exposure To a community that wants the type of product that they sell.

Even some good pictures and videos would help sell!

Work was exceptionally busy the past couple days. I tried calling Mike at the end of the day, but got had to leave a message. It’ll have to wait until Monday.

Although it is expensive, They have a promotional price around $2k and this is for everything from primary cats back. I feel like that’s a competitive price, when comparing to other axle back setups for $1,300-$1,500. The thing that sucks is that I’m basically hoping that this thing sounds like what I want, since there’s only one short video clip and no prior customer reviews.

Is this a bolt on system or do I have to hack off the secondary cats permanently? Would like the option to put secondary back on when I sell the car.

I have been meaning to take a serious look at BBE for some time.

I spent some time on their site today and I have to say that my impressions of the quality of build, fabrication, welds and their all around practical experience look very impressive. Flange fittings are especially sexy. I would almost hate to mount it under the car as their fab quality is such a work of art.

Unfortunately, $2K is about the going rate for a secondary cat delete, NPP capable system. I'm personally willing to pay a few extra bucks for that level of build and fabrication.

Keep us posted Aperretta.
