Never saw this one before. It is like a nice version of the racing beat dual tip. No offense to racing beat but while their exhaust sounds nice, it looks kinda silly. This guy though, looks very nice.

Didn't know FEED made a dual tip exhaust catback. However, I love my silly RB exhaust...nothing silly about the $500 price, too.

You are absolutely correct about this being the reason everything gets copied! $1200 is a silly price for a stainless cat back. Lilly one off japanese companies. For $1200, i hope it comes with a straw. Because for that price it had better be made out of cocaine.

I just saw the ShamWows for the first time on TV a few moments ago. Never knew what it was before. I understand this post now. LoL.

For $1300 shipped, it better blow more than hot air ...

Seriously, though it really should be 100% titanium at that price.

The Japanese don't price their products to appeal to the US Market. Not to mention the Exhaust is only 1100 USD on the FEED Website. Not that i care for this exhaust any, but if you don't like it, just don't buy it.

Ever seen at what prices Racing Beat products go for in Japan? They go for 2 or sometimes 3x the amount they go here. That is what AUTOEXE sells them for at least. They are the "sole" Dealer for Racing Beat in Japan. Why don't the japanese just copy Racing beat's products? That's the great way to come with new **** right?

Rx7s were not 38,000 USD cars everywhere around the world. Some people in the world had to pay 6 figures for a brand new Rx7 due to government politics/taxes. I guess they should have just copied mazda right?

Please think about the big global picture before you make dumbass remarks.

Where is the "dumb *** remarks"? $1200 is a silly price, especially give what most feel is a better alternative. And if what you say is true about the Japanese not pricing things for the North American market, it's likely one reason things get copied. Whether your agree with that or not, it's probably accurate and certainly not dumb ***.

You have a bizzare definition of the word 'silly'. I wonder if angling the tips of my RB exhaust would make it unsilly.

Oh oh oh! I found a perfect picture (almost perfect, it could have some ugly bracket attached to the ugly part) of how and why the racing beat dual tip is UGLY!! Ok here goes. Let me know how you guys think this isnt ugly?



Tadaa, DEFEND YOURSELVES ugly exhaust owners!

Particularly if it is properly attached (unlike the one in the picture).

Someone has OCD.
