Woah, dont drag us into this 
Our link pipes are Titanium (Asnex) and also come complete with heat shielding. The material we use is literally 5x more expensive, takes roughly 20-25% longer to fabricate / weld thanks to the material qualities and additional care that needs to be taken over the environment in which they're welded in. Also, the heat shielding alone accounts for well over 1/3 of the overall price.
The Akrapovic parts are fantastic value for what they are, a loss leader to help their other Porsche sales, huge companies often do this. Compare the price of the titanium heat shielded link pipes with their rear silencer replacement, it simply doesn't stack up when you consider the amount of material in their rear. The Akra link pipes are closer to stock diameter so not really suitable for those chasing the big power gains but for those looking for a simple cost effective increase in sound they're great!
As our name was mentioned so I felt it right to respond and address as I would hate for our parts to be looked at in the same light. Our pricing is consistent across all of our products, our margins are smaller than anyone else's out there and I do believe that they offer excellent VFM with all things considered.

some thread on RL is trying to do a group buy of Quick Silver OAPs for under $1,000. Titanium and Inconel notwithstanding... the manufacturing costs and thus the wholesale price of the average SS OAP has gotta be under $1,000/pair. Its an exhaust pipe dammit! I know for a fact what the landed cost of the Kline OAP and Rear in inconel is (I wont say how much or how I know...) but the SS version (OAP and Rear Box) has got to be well under $3k.

I think that the Akra link-pipes have to be without a doubt the leader in value here, lightweight Titanium, shielded and during the group buy only a little more than 1/3 the price of the Dundon version shown in post #1 
Hat's off to Eric @SupremePower for making it all happen!

They’re going to have to get the same people that review “audiophile” speaker cables to test these things.
”Yes, the Dundon OAPs are very expensive, but the soundstage is brighter and airier, the tonality fuller and more profound than the lesser options...it is as if the pistons are right next to your head.”

Ive heard that if you get a green marker pen and scribble on either end of the OAP that its good for an additional +10bhp ... or is that a CD???

The tech working on my car has nothing but positive comments on the fit, finish and ease of installation. And Dundon delivers on power.

I’ve had Dundon headers on my 981 GT4, 991.1 GT3 and 991.2 GT3. Dundon uses T321 stainless on all of their stainless products. When my 718 GT4 shows up it will get Dundon headers. In the highly unlikely event I don’t like the headers Dundon will take them back no questions asked.

True, sound is a personal thing. Dundon will refund your money if you don’t like the sound. I don’t believe any of the other vendors will do that.
