How? Chip sells GHL exhuasts, and now the Predator (a new design by CCA but manufactured by GHL). If he sells a set of Bullets, Chip and GHL make money. If Chip sells a Predator system, he and GHL make money. Either way, Chip and GHL make money. I really don't see the conflict. Manufacturers do stuff like this all the time.

We asked GHL how much it would be for them to build us a system to our specifications. They gave us a price. We sent them a check. No conflict that I can see.

GHL is an exhaust manufacturer, which means they make exhausts.
If you or any other company wants to make an exhaust exclusively to be sold by your company, design a system, give them the specifications and materials you want used, write a very big check and I'm sure they will make them for you.

Peace
Chip

Not enough interest? Wish they offered that tip configuration on their other system.
