I saw Supersprint's exhaust and DP before, I think it is no diffrent from my DP that has made in China factory (the factory is mainly produced the exhaust for GTR35 and overseas like US, England and the cutomer will stamp with their own brand when goods is arrived to destination, same as the CF bodykit supplier I have in hand too), my DP which made in 2mm stainless steel is just asking for less than US$300.

Absolute BS...why would mandrel bending cost more? Have any of you ever used a mandrel bender? It takes WAY less time then welding a bunch of bends together and less machinery!!! Therefore, LESS cost to produce!!! ALL of you bimmer guys that think these outrageous costs we are forced to pay for so called "quality" parts need to go look at the high end JDM parts for the Japanese cars. We are getting RAPED! seriously!

A lot of mandrel benders are limited to the amount of bends it can make on the same pipe due to clearance of the pipe and the machine, although the downpipe design on these cars don't really seem intricate enough for that to be the case..

What kind of R&D is going into make them bigger and straighter??? Sorry, but it's not that much work. It'd be like someone getting one of their custom exhausts and then making a jig for it. BOOM, DONE! Seriously, it's not like it's a header for an NA car where it's being tuned for back pressure and all like Hytech does with their anti-reversion bits. IN fact, maybe we should all get in touch with them...they'd prolly get shit done faster for these cars and make more power!

There was once a time when these were the only downpipes on the market. A year before Riss, 2 before AR, and 3 before VK, supersprint was the only company offering dps.
When you come out first, you can charge whatever you want. Clean house, then let the other companies come in and do it cheaper while you move on to the next one. It's not like they just came out last week offering up $2k downpipes.
