Not the point though in my eyes. At the price point this thing reflects, you are paying for one thing...exclusivity. No one is ever going to tell me, nor convince me that it's of a "higher" quality than any other exhaust on the market (titanium or non), or that it performs any better or lasts any longer. But it is a rare piece, and at the end of the day, the customer knows the price and if it makes them happy to buy it then so be it. One of my customers has this very exhaust on their own car in fact. He knows it was an insane amount to pay but he liked it, and wanted something unique, had the $ to afford it, so what the hell...he got it

ok my bad for stating that.. what I mean to say is 90% of the people out there wouldn't event spend $2000 on an exhaust alone $6000.00, this is what I shouldn't said but ohh well too late to change it huh.. lol
like Z1 said this exhaust is for the person that really want something no one have, bling factor.

Nice Exhaust. Too expensive for my blood.
I don't know why everyone is all over this even if arc change the price on the exhaust no one is going to buy it. I can see why he said that but could of use a better way of saying it.

+1 and even if it was between 2-3k, instead of double that price and more. You're better off getting a nice F/I setup.

Looks good, ARC is always more expensive, its just the quality and brand, I wonder if it is more expensive over here than it is over there, sorta like Trust instead of Greddy.

Is the grade of titanium any higher then the grades that most competitors use? Even at a 50% profit from manufacturing plant to consumer... I still don't understand how a company can charge that much for an exhaust. It is not like a set of VOLK wheels or BREMBO brakes where the tolerance and specs are MUCH tighter meaning higher quality engineering required. I can understand why they would charge that much. An exhaust system is literally a bunch of bent tubes with flanges and hangers. If the hangers are welded 1/8 of an inch off... who cares noone will notice. Try having that kind of mess up on a wheel or brake kit. A kries-sieg valve tronic exhaust goes for roughly 6K. If you think ARC exhausts are high quality... look at those. Those also have a valve tronic system essentialy giving you two exhaust systems in one. I am a lover of high quality products... otherwise I would be using the copy cat crap parts, or replica garbage kits. This though seams a little too much wanted profit from the manufacturer. May I ask what the warranty is for the ARC exhaust?

I can tell you right now.. if people are spending 1400-1500 for the super quality exhausts out right now, you set a price of 1800-2000 you will have much more business. Six thousand is just really... out of control.
