Just called them. They're still in business. Spoke to Andy and he said the quad conversion for a 545 is $3100. You can't buy the exhaust separate from the X-pipe; it comes as a system.
Peanut is out till next week. Perhaps Peanut worked out the special $2200 price for Derek, I don't know...

$3100 is MSRP straight from RD. $2200 is almost at cost price. How do I know? I spoke with Federico (the owner of RD Sport) and he told me himself. Sorry, but that price Peanut quoted derek is hard to believe.

One very important consideration - taxes on the new item. Lets play Taxman. Default rate at 7.50% (cal is 8.25% - other states may be above or below). Unless these sellers are willing to bite the tax (which I seriously doubt), your ballpark numbers are as follows:
At a MSRP of $3100, tax @ 7.50% will be $232.50 for a total of: $3332.50
At the heavily discounted price of $2200, tax liability @ 7.50% is $165 for a total of: $2365.00
At an amazing price of $1950 for a 6 month old (young?) part, tax liability is....zero for a total of: $1950.00
Freedom obviously pampared his car. I can only surmise the exhaust has minimal wear. Buying slightly used will save you approx $1382.50 under MSRP, and approx $415.00 under the at-cost price. If I had an extra $2k right now, this discussion would be moot....
