Default Dundon over axle pipes

I think JCR was the old leader at $3680... now Dundon pulls into the lead at $4500 for OAP.

You can buy the Fabspeed ones, then ship them to HeaderShield to have the heat shielding tack welded on like Akra does, and still come out way ahead.

I always wondered what Unobtanium looked like...

For that price you would think they would have a nice finish or perhaps this is the Nuevo industrial look ?

Agree. Pretty high w/o heatshielding IMO.

Whoa ...don't know what to say. Makes JCR ones look like they're a great deal and the Cargraphic ones a smoking deal!

Mine were delivered last week, Flat 6 was great to work with. I didn't see a big difference in all the OAP's and these had heat shielding included along with a reasonable price.

I can see that happening, but I am optimistic that in the land of seasoned Auto Enthusiasts, we would see through the hype and look at the more realistic and reasonable values of these performance parts; especially OAPs

I think that the Akra link-pipes have to be without a doubt the leader in value here, lightweight Titanium, shielded and during the group buy only a little more than 1/3 the price of the Dundon version shown in post #1

Hat's off to Eric @SupremePower for making it all happen!
