Exhaust?'s

Has anyone ever heard of an exhaust called something along the lines of Texas Custom Exhaust?
Apparently it cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $3,500. This would have been purchased between 2000 and 2003 if that helps at all.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Must be a full exhaust with headers, otherwise this price is highly unrealistic, unless it's made out of pure gold

Yea thats what I am thinking. The guy that bought the car new in 2000 said he installed it himself too but he cant remember all the details about it. But he sold the car around 2003 and now my dad is looking at buying it so I am just trying to gather some info.

If the guy bought the best from front to back he could have spent that much, don't know what he bought or if he's including install labor...but yeah it's possible

Yea I know its easily possible to spend that about much for a full exhaust system but he said he installed it himself, and I know he always buys the best of the best stuff.
Keep in mind he also owns a 1987 sledgehammer TT, still have yet to see it yet cause he doesnt drive it very often. Usually just drives his 600 hp caddy

That site is very confusing and did not look like anything I would ever want on my vette, unless I wanted them to install the powerflow system which is a pita to put on.
Do you have any information on the Italian exhaust cause the guy said he paid about 3500 which is just crazy imo but I have no clue what he got.

Hmm looking at their site it looks like they have a distribution office in texas and I see its available in titanium.
If Im not mistaken didnt corsa make a titanium exhaust at one point, does anyone know how much that cost when new?

The TUBI exhaust is absolutely awesome - I had a buddy who had it on his Vette and sold it to my friend Joe who is currently using it -

And if I could change out to anything else it would be this exhaust it is sweeeeeeeet!

Thanks,Matt

Are there any ways that I can tell if its a TUBI system, Im sure either way my dad is going to get the car considering it only has 9k on it and is priced pretty well and has several things that he wants on it.

Tips are rather unique?

Looks like the logo might be stamped in?

Yea well we are going to look at the car tomorrow so Ill try and see if I can find any markings or logos. I think its kinda hard to tell what the tips look like just from a picture but thats just me.
And that system sure looks nice but I dont think I could ever spend that much on a pair of mufflers.
