What Am I Missing?
Subtitle: Lessons in Fleecing P-car Owners.
$8,940 vs $4,100? I'm no fabrication expert but I'm hard pressed to see more than twice the material or labor content in the Panamera system vs the Corvette system. Maybe someone from Akrapovic could shed some light on why the Panamera system is so much more.... "valuable"......

Cost to develop (more time to find gains?), less competition (fewer Panamera systems on the market), ammortization of tooling (fewer units sold vs Z06) and some fleecing factor.
If they made one for a Honda Accord it would be half the price of the Z06.
