For $8,700.00 I would deal with the weight out back, thank you very much!!

How much weight is being saved with this setup?

Looks great but my mufflers seem to get hit every few years so I can't spend that much on something that's disposable.

Agree that the price is not the best part of it... Not easy to have a high quality product, custom made out of titanium for a small amount. I'm not here trying to push the product, as I stated this was a custom made piece following clients request, just showing that we have different systems made, or custom made, so another different option from those offered in the market right now.
Several of the Grand AM front runners and qualifiers in the Daytona 24 were also using M&M headers and pipes. Point is just show the flexibility.
I have other options for lower prices, and there are a lot of options out there also more affordable than this.

For a custom made Ti system, the price is probably about right. It's not like Ti mandrel bends are high volume and it takes a lot of time to build a set of headers. A set of stainless headers from good builders is around $4k. Add in the Ti cost, shipping, and a custom tailpipe setup and you get to $8,700 pretty quick.

That's pretty much what it comes down to ... add to it Germany - US shipping costs and also customs.

I didn't say the system was priced improperly......
