Default C-One Motorsport Exhaust For SC (L-Tuned)

Is anybody running the C-One Motorsport Exhaust for the SC, or have they in the past, the one that they have for sale on www.l-tunedparts.com?

Does anybody have any reviews on this exhaust? Thank you.

That's a ridiculous price for just two mufflers. It's not even a catback system.

The price is insane. $1700 for some damn mufflers?? What do they do for $1700?????? I wouldn't buy that. You can get the Greddy MX system for like $900 or you can get Magnaflows and custom piping for like $500. I don't think these mufflers flow THAT well now...I smell a rip-off...

Carson Toyota is known in the CL community I don' t think he'd overcharge for the sake of earning more money.

some other things could be done with 1700, let alone they're axle backs. Rather go with tein's and magnaflows.

C-One parts are VERY expensive compared to a lot of Japanese performance manufacturers... but then again, it goes the same for TRD and TOM'S.

I'm very familiar with Carson Toyota as I've been dealing with them for years and I used to live a few miles away from that dealership. You're totally misunderstanding what I said. I'm not saying Carson is overcharging as Carson is simply a middleman, not the actual manufacturer of the mufflers. C-One Motorsports has a price that they believe their product should sell for, Carson then most likely makes a small profit off of those products when it sells it at retail. The price Carson sells it for is based on what C-One sets it's prices at. C-One is the rip-off, not Carson. Carson won't undersell items to lose money, they have to make a profit to stay in business. Do you understand what I'm saying now?

I knew what you meant. I was just suggesting that maybe it was a typo in price or product description. As in, maybe the price isn't 1700 as listed or maybe it is cat-back.

I guess you could hope for that, but it's not likely. I've found ALL C-One stuff to be pretty expensive, and I haven't found out why, meaning...I haven't yet found out why they want to charge an arm and a leg more than their comp for basically the same stuff. If someone finds out why C-One is so expensive I wish they'd share the knowledge. I really would like to know.
