My first choice, but I will have to find the best price. The margin looks pretty wide to me. I think the marketing and pricing guys need to work together and get the word out on this one at about 20% less than I'm seeing it.

Discretionary spending is under a microscope these days.

I couldn't agree more. Love the sound and it looks to be of high quality construction, but at quite a steep price.

I think the materials are great quality too, but chambered exhausts are known to lose power which is why you don't typically see them anymore. So if you're just looking for that 60s muscle car sound, that's great. For the price I would be asking for more than just acoustic improvements and loss of HP and torque lol.

Was not aware. Maybe a rep from SW could address this...

Yeah. I pressed them on numbers awhile back, and they finally gave me a response like, "well we don't give numbers because they vary so widely from car to car". I think they may have even posted a response in the forums to that effect.

I've seen something along the lines of, "you can speak with one of our sales reps but we don't post numbers."

Well believe me, if the numbers were good, they would be posted, advertised, marketed or they'd say how they smash the competition.

Yeah, it's a shame really. It really does sound amazing and it is made of quality material. As much as I don't want to deal with the pypes fitment issues(my other option), I'm not ready to fork over a ton of cash to lose power. I could deal with it making less power than brand x, but not less power than stock. Considering the fact I want to get LTs/xpipe on here eventually, I am deffinitely not spending ALL that money to then move backward because my choice in cat backs. SW could still address this, I'm sure no one would be upset hearing their opinion on the matter.
