Re: Stainless steel exhaust from German auto shop

Quote:
Keep in mind a certain percentage of the exhaust's cost goes towards the TUV approval paperwork. Germany has one of the strictest sound control laws in the world, as well any modifications performed must retain or improve upon the stock vehicle's emissions standards. I imported parts for German cars into the US for 10 years, so I've been there, done that! Even body kits have to be wind-tunnel approved before being legal to sell in Germany, but when they shipped those parts into the US they were actually cheaper as we didn't need the approval papers here. FWIW.

that is why german made stuff is so much better than us made... they test, test, test, regulate, and force the manufacturers to make actually BETTER product than stock to sell it on the aftermarket.

i think this would be the baddest exhaust available, plus it is ub3r-r4r3
the cost isnt that bad... considering Flatt Racing is somewhere in the $2000 range
Stebro is ~$900

so @$1500 it is midrange on price

interesting for sure
