A better comparison is the HKS hi power and the Injen SES.What would make purchasing the HKS for $1400.+(the tips are the only titanium) over the Injen at $860. the right choice?They both show nearly identical dyno #'s.

For $2000 or less you can buy all the NA parts I have used, and go run low 13's, high 12's (if you dont have -2.2 rear camber like me) and trap 106-107mph with BOLT-ONS. Show me 1 person on this site that has trapped so high with such few mods or money, only people you could find are N20 guys, and even then they cant all run faster. BTW driving skills required

Do you agree that there are significant build quality disparities between exhausts out there? That's the only point I was trying to make. I also never said that Borla was of poor quality, only that the APS is built better... I'm not sure that anyone could argue against that with a straight face.
To answer your question about why someone would pay more for a product that can to the same job as another that is less expensive: I will answer with another question- Which would you rather have: a 360 modena or a c5 zo6? enough said...
