Would it be possible for....
Vendors to offer a group buy to purchase Corsa Extreme exhaust for like oh something like $800 dollars? This could be awesome if one vendor could offer them at this price for like a 2 day special. I'm sure lots of orders would be filled in just those 2 days. It's just something I thought I would ask, thanks.

Customer's think that vendors are making fortunes of money selling performance parts - you would be shocked if you knew the margins that vendors get from the manufacturers. Big vendors like Mid-America commit to buying large quantities from companies like Corsa, but I doubt that even with huge annual commitments, they would be able to sell a Corsa system for $800.
Good luck with your dreams, though!

Margins, especially on common items like Corsa where everyone sells them, are very small. People are happy making a few % on them and drop ship them without ever having to stock or do any customer service. Those of us who've been in business a long time (going on 14 years for us) have reputations for top notch service and support, and we have all of our staff working for us for many years, all of whom are personally experienced with much of what we offer. You can't get that from Ebay, but we also have to charge a little profit on our items to keep in business for so long.

Wait around and pick up a used set. I'm sure there are some people on here who bought it and then thought it was too loud (or their neighbors did) when they added headers. Post a WTB thread and wait it out, or suck it up and drop the money on a new one. Personally, I can't justify spending over $1k on an exhaust for my car so I have always bought used ones off the forum.
