Good deal on TBE?

So I was looking for a 3'' TBE for my IX when I can across a RS-R 80mm GT2 TBE for $650, is that a good deal? Should I pass up the offer or order it right away? I already have the other supporting mods being shipped to me and the TBE is the last mod on my list. Is $650 the cheapest for a TBE? Also how is the quality on the RS-R exhaust?

$650 is a great price as long as it fits. Usually, RSR cat-backs cost around $650, not the whole TBE.

No, it's not the cheapest, but you'd know if you did 30 seconds of searching.

Check the vendor forums. Usually someone has a sale going. You cant go wrong there

Believe me I searched. I did all my research on the greddy, helix, BR, megan, RS-R, and countless other exhausts. Although there is a lot of info out there on these exhausts some little tid bits are missing. I'm looking for an exhaust with hardly any bends in it, I want it as straight as possible. Yeah $650 seems like a great price, well thats what I'm hearing from the locals. In all my research I never came across anything about the Quality on RS-R products, how does it compare to the other high quality exhausts on the market? Fitment is a concern as well but I have yet to see anyone with this exhaust on the IX.

The new buschur exhaust looks incredible, hardly any bends at all. It is more expensive, but probably the best out there.
