What's up with Crate motor Mufflers?
I'm in the market for mufflers for my LS3, and I ran across the ad from Borla for Crate Motor Mufflers. Way cool, designed specifically for different crate motors..... I thought now how nice is that. Then I saw the price..... $255 each, then there is the mounting kit, extra. By the time your done just the mufflers could set you back $600 or more if you choose to use the recommended $120. resonators... How does a sheet metal box cost $250 bucks? I get the development costs and production setup costs, but really, a complete stainless steel mandrel bent system can be had for a whole lot less,,, Somebody please explain.
Thanks

It's sucker pricing, trying to drain more dollars from the pro-touring faithful. The Borla XS is a very nice muffler, however--my newest setup uses one, along with a Dynomax Race Bullet. With all piping and headers, I might have hit $300.00, not including welding wire . . .

Has anyone used these crate motor mufflers? They sound really good, but would love to get a real life opinion, not just internet audio. I have talked to two folks today that said they were worth the money....... but they were talking "Borla" in general, not specifically these new mufflers.
