If I was considering a $1-3 million dollar car, Id get the Ferrari. Obviously money isn't an object at that point, and I'd like to have it made to my specs with a unique interior etc.

Just gettin your goat, obviously this is expensive, but in reality, who cares. You aren't gonna buy it so why **** on a vendors thread? Ohhhh well.

The value is always what people willing to pay. So if there is a buyers out there for that exhaust , then that is a right price for it
I would buy it? No . Only because i can't afford it.

Simple is that.

Even if I was a trillionaire I would still not buy the Ferrari out of principle and proper logic. I'm also not going to be a pretentious rich *****. I'm not the type off guy to show off my money. Hey, whatever floats your boat, I guess. I agree money does not matter much anymore at that level of richness.

when you buy a car for the public road over $200k there is no proper logic anymore.
I would even say for the proper logic, everything is cost over $70k is out of boundaries on public road.

So when it comes down to the Ferrari or toyota debate the Ferrari wins hands down
You dont understand ...
The Ferrari, is like the pope for a church.

Ohhh? I don't understand? What so hard to understand about elitist snobbery? That's a nice opinion you got there. Paying for something immaterial like prestige is one of the dumbest things people do throughout history.

Even the richest man that ever lived does not think like a ostentatious douchebag. His name was Sam Walton. All he drove was beat *** truck from the seventies until he died. He hated wasting money and that mentality is what made him rich and powerful. All the mega rich people that made their empires from scratch think like that.

I'm not knocking the product since it's top notch. Don't get me wrong. I always admire quality. But I have disgust for the price and the logic behind the purchase of prestige items.

Edit: People that buy into prestige are also the same people that file for bankruptcy after winning the lottery.

i think you filled with envy.
i am poor guy , but i can understand if some one want to buy something is not based on logic...
I would bet if i would meet you i could point out at least 10 things i wouldn't buy what you did. Not to mention the money you spend on it.

So there goes the logic...

Of course I would envy someone that has something that I want that I perceive to be high end and which would give my car increased performance. This exhaust will do that. I'm sure it will give good gains in power and a good amount of weight reduction. But I'm not going to envy the price he or she paid.

I'm usually not the type of person to question your taste, style, and how much you spend on something. You can go ahead and spend a billion dollars on whatever you like, as long as you can afford it and you did not overpay.

I don't claim to be perfect when I'm spending money. I often overpay because I'm impatient or ignorant of a better deal. But I do the best I can.

Edit: I don't hate humble rich people that created their wealth by mainly their own will like Sam Walton. I admire his type. (You know the person that built the Wal-Mart empire?)

Just to add more fuel to the fire for all of the hating on this gorgeous exhaust from one of Japan's most prestigious and well-respected companies...

Also consider: currency conversion rates, importation costs, material costs, etc.

Bump for Bulletproof and a fine product from Powerhouse Amuse

VincentX give it a rest. We understand you think it's overpriced, but no one cares what you think.

It is pricey, but beauty always has a cost. Seriously though Can we see some dyno numbers, cause that's way more impressive to me then the color customization of the cans that you can't even see when the car is on the road.

i love how people come into threads to express how they think something is overpriced. guess what? you probably can't afford it anyways. i am not some pretentious snobby ***** either, and am responsible with my money. i guarantee i am up on my investments just as much as you. one post is fine, but to keep beating the horse is beyond corny. in any case, stop hating and ruining the guy's thread
