Taking off this, putting stock ones on, then buying a new exhaust, taking off stock exhaust off, then putting the new one in.. seems like too much of a hassle so I'm not sure if I'll even do it..

But to answer your question, I really don't know. Depends on what I get offered since not a lot of people sell this, so I don't have an idea as to how much to ask.

Yup, like I said before it's a good exhaust for $300 but for $500 I'm going in a different direction. Probably Invidia or Injen.

Greddy SP2 is a good axle back exhaust system for less than $500 shipped. For around $600, there are plenty of good exhausts to choose from. Top Speed was OK for $300, not worth $500 IMO.

If no one buys them for $500 they wil come down, if people are dumb enough to pay $500 for them then they won't come down. If that's the case more power to the sellers, good business move.

I personally was looking forward to buying one when they became available but I refuse to pay $200 more than what it was selling for just a few months ago when it was established as a $300 product.

These eBay sellers got greedy and thought they can sell them all day for $500+. Like I said, I was quoted $320 a few weeks ago and MR2Liter raised the price to $500 a week later. If they kept it at $300+, they would have been sold out by now. I'll be suprise if they've sold a set already.

My recommendation for anyone looking for an exhaust system is checkout the classifieds section for either new or used ones. There are plenty of better exhaust systems for around $500-$600. You can even buy used true duals for around $600 (Borlas, Injens, NISMOs). I bought my Injen SES for $350. Just look around and you will find some great bargains on better exhaust systems.

I personally called you on the phone # you listed on this thread and you quoted me $320 plus shipping. I can easily provide you the details (day, time, length of call, etc.) but there is no point to this since I already bought another exhaust. All I'm saying is that, as a vendor, if you quoted someone a price for a specific product, you need to honor it since your credibility is at stake.

On a side note we have dyno tested this exhaust to add 11whp. I think $450 for 11whp is a great deal.
OK, I wasn't gonna participate in this debate, but since you threw out the statement "dyno tested this exhaust to add 11whp," you're gonna need to show proof of that. We need to see before and after, what kind of dyno, conditions of both, etc. If you can't prove it, then erase your claim.

Well, I commend you, sir. But, how were the runs done? Was it just the y-pipe back vs the stock? Silencers in or out? Any other mods done from the lower hp run to the higher hp run? Details please?

If it turns out that the y-pipe back alone w/o silencers put down that much.. which I doubt as the tq should be lower than stock in the lower rpm's, then I guess I'll keep my y-pipe back pro-1.
