I haven't checked into them before but for just covers, I almost fell out of my chair. That seems way high to me.

I had no idea what they cost. I like the look but am still a little taken aback by the price. I got a pretty penny in my tranny too. I paid that price because that is what I wanted.

How much is the exhaust system that would go with it?

My Allen Mufflers added another $750 or so. Yeah! You gotta be crazy and guess I fall into that catagory, but have never seen a side pipe set up that looks better than the originals; and in this case the original reproductions.

I bought them during a 10 percent off everything sale and picked them up to avoid shipping charges.
