Why is it so expensive? Because people pay it! That's why!

No doubt, from spring compressors to engine hoists and nearly everything in between.Keep in mind some of those expensive specialized tools can be rented for free too!
That still does not justify the price. I purchased a complete header back exhaust for my 68 Barrcuda a couple of years ago. It included the mid pipes with an X cross over, two mufflers, two tailpipes, hangers and clamps. Granted it was aluminized steel but the complete price from Summit Racing was $250. If you assume double the cost for 409 stainless (which it wouldn't be with the labor being the same regardless of matetial) that would be $500.It so expensive because it is now a mid-pipe and axle back. Back on my '01, the cat-back did not include the mid-pipe. The Magnaflow cat-back I bought for my '15 was almost $1k (I bought used).
So if you compare it to what they used to be, you have to add in the cost of doing a mid-pipe and an axle-back.
