I agree. I really love mine to the point where I have been driving for the past couple of months without a working radio in my car and not even bother to replace it.

i was giving them a benefit of a doubt. 500 bucks for an axle back is ridiculous no matter what car you own. the only exception is some european cars. my buddy runs IND (industry distribution inc.). they specialize in importing german high end parts. their exhaust are in the thousands range but they are for the cars such as the e92 m3 and parts like the eisenmann exhausts. those parts are expensive but actually add to performance. this on the other hand is all cosmetic.

i dont think i can justify spending 500...or i guess 750, for a cosmetic set of mufflers. i dont even think they look that good...

EDIT: after looking on the tanabe website i dont understand how we get shafted so badly. for the same 750 bucks most other cars get a cat back exhaust and for the is350 it even comes with the y pipe. that being more then half the exhaust of the car.

same thing with the infiniti's. the axle backs range from 600ish to 1000 bucks. for two mufflers? wtf? i know the prices of SS and labor rates, even for custom work. it is no where near those prices, especially if mass produced.

Make sure you contact one of your CL vendors for pricing since we do not sell to retail. You'll get better pricing than retail I'm sure and/or a good price on shipping. Feel free to contact us for any other questions.

Tip size: 115mm

Piping Size: 60mm

Axle Back: Yes

Retail Price: $740.00

Part Number: T70095A
