More restrictive flow because of tighter bends on U part at the muffler. Other than that, it is the same design.

We are thinking about pricing the 3in dual exhaust at $1050. And 3in single outlet at $850. It will run all the way to downpipe/header. Cat and resonator are extra. What do you guys think?

That's $100 more than the PTuning Turbo-Back exhaust (everything minus header/downpipe), which is by far the best on the market right now. Fully polished 304-SS, 3x3" T304SS VBands, Mandrel bends, Mid-Pipe muffler, 3-Point rear section mount (reduces sway), laser etched tip, 3rd O2 bung for tailpipe sniffer.

From the looks of the exhaust, I wouldn't pay over $1000 for it. The mid-pipe isn't even mandrel-bent.

Yea I didnt really wanna say anything but the 2.5" dual exhaust cat-back you wanted 900 for and thats alot for a 2.5in. It looks great and all but not worth that much.

Well, we are offering same type of exhaust with single outlet for $850 with muffler, stainless flanges, and 3in stainless piping. 02 bungs can be put at no extra charge per customer requirements.

Dual exhaust is 1050 because it uses more materials and harder to make. We also have V-Band clamps on this one but not on single outlet.

Another option that we offer is putting a resonator for quieter operation and cat if you need one. PTuning exhaust is really loud.

All of our exhausts are hand-made and carry Limited Lifetime Warranty against workmanship defects.

That's still expensive for single outlet, non-mandrel bent. 90% of the consumers that you're trying to appeal to think the PTuning exhaust is too much money, and end up buying a crappy Megan exhaust for a couple hundred bucks.

And I have the PTuning exhaust, and I can assure you, it is NOT loud. It's as quiet as my TRD axle-back was.

It is pointless to have products that are too expensive to buy. Give me your numbers. I'll see what I need to do to get there.

Yes, you're absolutely right, which is why I can't see any justice in your price. It is the most expensive tC exhaust on the market and it looks incredibly restrictive. I honestly wouldn't expect to pay any more than $700 for that full exhaust. Maybe $800 if it was mandrel bent. And on top of that, extra for cat and resonator. So you're probably asking $1200 for the full package, in a world full of people who don't want to spend more than $500 on it.

Also, you're going to need some beastly hp/tq gains to justify the price. Right now, PTuning IS the best exhaust for the car, and they have the numbers to back it up. +45WHP/+70WTQ over a Greddy Axle-back system.

I would like to see some pics of this single canister exhaust . If you could do a catback with a resonator with single canister for around say 450 which is about the price of a greddy axleback which is ridiculous for an axleback. And maybe 500-550 for the catback dual exhaust of course this in 2.5".

Also pics of how you have the exhaust ran over the crossmember and not under.

Let's compare apples to apples. Ptuning is not a dual exhaust so let's not compare it. Dual exhaust is a combination of style and performance and is intended more for street rather than track racing. It is not a mass production piece, and making it for $800 doesn't justify the cost. Plus there are no other dual exhaust systems for tC that I can compare price to.

Single outlet exhaust looks different than dual exhaust. It utilizes different muffler and is less restrictive than dual muffler that has U-bend. You keep saying non-mandrel bent. All piping is mandrel bent.

From the looks of the midpipe, it sure as hell doesn't look mandrel bent. Those are sharp 45 degree corners.

And of course the PTuning isn't a dual tip exhaust, their exhaust was made for their time attack tC. The dual tip setup is too restrictive for what it was intended for.

I'm just giving you a heads up that there's not too many people looking to spend over $1000 for an exhaust, just for looks. The majority of the people are looking for a giant grape fruit shooter, instead of a clean stock look. I'll say it right now, your exhaust looks great. It's level with the car and looks very stock. I just don't see the justice in paying extra for another tip, which I wouldn't benefit from.
