I haven't followed most of this thread except the last pages. I tried to stay out of it but couldn't help myself. Praise the lowered shut the hell up already!!!!!!! If you don't have anything meaningful to say don't say it. Where is arguing with everyone getting you, almost every damn thread I see you post in is something negative or bashing someone else. CUT IT OUT ALREADY. This is a community of enthusiasts. If I wanted to read douchebag posts I would go to the MUSTANG forum.

Back on topic...
As with anything there is going to be different levels of quality, we are 5 series owners. How much does the car run, around 50k+ new? One could argue you could buy a accord for half the money, so why pay so much more for a BMW? I've learned in my short life that you get what you pay for. If you want a good exhaust with proven gains you will pay for it. As the OP mentioned he has a business. Well as a businessman, if a item is selling well at the price that RPI sets, why would they lower it? They are in it to make money, not to lower the price to a pricepoint that would satisfy the bargain basement exhaust buyers. Which exhaust in your opinion is comparable to the RPI? Isn't 2400 for the whole system? I could get a RPI for my 525 for $6/700.
