What's up with Crate motor Mufflers?

[oleyeller]

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
