Really? So unless I drive a CTS-V or a Corvette, I should just accept that I have to pay 3x - 5x more for a set of pipes?

Sorry - I don't agree with this. A 304 stainless tube is a 304 stainless tube - no matter what company fabricates it. Yes, the welds are important. Any decent shop knows how to do a good weld. It is not rocket science.

Bottom line, we are paying a significant premium. I may have the means to pay 3k, but that doesn't make it any less annoying knowing that the product ought to cost 1k at the outside.
