Stainless steel exhaust from German auto shop
Ran across some discussion of a stainless steel exhaust in this German SVX forum thread.
Vendor is "Autohaus Helmut Hey e. K." in Waltershausen, Germany. Link (just pictures, no price): www.autohaus-hey.de/svx Here's translation of some of the discussion: Quote:

Re: Stainless steel exhaust from German auto shop
What's the price? I would be ideal as you wouldn't have to replace it for a very long time and it would add to the resale value if it ever came to be. Are they available in the states?

Re: Stainless steel exhaust from German auto shop
Says it in the translation: I can't find the bill anymore, I think I paid about 1,200 € [US $1540]. It was higher than previously calculated, because, naturally, this or that [extra stuff] had to be made.
No thanks... lol

Re: Stainless steel exhaust from German auto shop
Actually, I think the guy was saying that his old exhaust had been damaged from hitting the ground (perhaps driving over something he shouldn't have?), so the shop needed to do additional work / replace more parts than for a standard install.
I doubt they're intending to ship these abroad. Imagine the shipping cost! But then again, if you're willing to pay, they probably won't say no.

Re: Stainless steel exhaust from German auto shop
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 |

Re: Stainless steel exhaust from German auto shop
I thought Stebro was like 900 for only the muffler...?
