Default Why are BB Triflos so cheap?

Hi all:

I'm in the research process for an exhaust system. I'm wondering why the BB Triflos (http://www.corvettegarage.com/produc...-Corvette.html) are so cheap while other exhaust systems sell for upwards of $700, $800 and $900.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks.

Actually, I had a B&B Tri-flo on my 99LS1 Z and I got it for about 690 on a GP through Tbyrne (a while back). I guess the competition has stiffened since then so they have dropped their prices.

Back then it was a bit more expensive.

The look beautiful and sound awesome (I use to drive without the radio just to hear it).

Although this was on an LS1...if you're talking about LS2 or LS6 there might be a difference.

My B&B Tri Flo Rte 66 catback was $800. BTW the fit, finish and sound are outstanding.

Yeah, that's probably it. Although I like loud, I'm not sure I need no-muffler loud.

Thanks.
