my brother basically has all the money in the world.
he has an exhaust sytem that costs 7k alone.
he is putting a s/c on the g and basically gonna turn it into a skyline.

i talked to him though and we are thinking of either completely rebuilding this whole car or just getting an s2000





Please explain how anyone can spend 7K on an exhaust system (of any kind)?????

I just put a complete system under one of my GN''''s.  Full dual, 3" mandrel bent, polished stainless steal, polished stainless steal muffs, 3" polished stainless steal, mandrel bent turbo downpipe.

The entire system front to back, all 3" polished, mandrel bent stainless.  $1200 complete. This for all American made custom built stuff, no chinese junk.


Even if I add in an additional $1000 for a set of polished stainless headers, custom made, we''re still only at 2200
What was his system? Gold plated?

I''ve priced a few Borla systems for different cars. Even they don''t approach that kind of money.
