Why is FRPP/Borla muffler so expensive???
I've been doing quite a bit of research trying to decidewhich muffler to go with to replace my stock V6 one. I've heard good things about the single FRPP/Borla exhaust, but it seems it's also the most expensive, and by a pretty big chunk too. I've priced Flowmaster, MRTAeroTurbine, Bassani, and MAC, and allare much cheaper.
The going rate for FRPP/Borla seemsabout $350, whereas all the others I mentioned arecloser to$250, and some are even below $200. Is there a good reason for this, or are people paying simply for the "Ford Racing" name? I've heard nothing but good things about this muffler, and I'm seriously leaning towards buying it, but I just want to know why I'm gonna be paying more for it if I do. I've also heard good things about Flowmaster and MRT too, so trying to figure out why FRPP/Borla is more expensive really does influence my decision. Maybe I'm just being too cheap here, but if I can get a nice sounding, better flowing muffler for under $200 instead of $350, I don't see why I should pay more for a comprable product.

Borla is fully chromed and therefore stays cleaner vs others beng polished with the tip chromed. Also its arbitrarily expensive but only slightly for what it is.

Why not just get duels installed for that price and go with GT take offs. You'll probably still even have some money left over?

i have the ford racing axle back and although it sounds great, looks great, i get a lot of compliments, and i only payed 215 for it, i would rather have duals. I just think dual exhaust looks better on a mustang.

don't leave out JBA. personally, i would rather go with GT-takeoff dual setup for that price. you can easily paint the muffs yourself (silver, black) and get chrome tips welded on. i don't doubt that the FRPP is a good muff but it is much too pricey compared to other good muffs out there. JMO.
