I think it's full titanium and ARC is rare/expensive to begin with.. thus the price tag. It's meant for only the elite

It better give $7k worth of performance or at least out dyno a "cheaper" Motordyne.

I don't care if it's full titanium, gold, silver, etc. Not worth it IMHO.

No exhaust should cost more than a full FI kit.

It is a nice exhaust though.

true that. I was thinkin 7g's was a typeo especially for a cat-back. but based off of my marketing knowledge people must buy it or they would have to lower the price.

I have no words for this. Who in their right mind would spend that kind of money on an exhaust for a Nissan?

The same people who pay almost $500 for a metal tube that says ARC on it. LOL!

Even if I were a millionaire, there's no way I'd buy an exhaust for 7K (for a G). It has to give me a lot more than just 'status'.

Let's see if anyone has one and I'll do a dyno shootout!

My $250 X02 vs Your $7k Arc vs OEM Using the same car and same dyno on the same day.

Winner keeps the Arc

Yeah I said it.

Not many people claim that ARC outperforms (whether it be intake, suspension, or exhaust). It doesn't cost as much as it does because it performs well. It's a status thing. You're paying for exclusivity, something that pays off at shows.

True that. People who dog Arc stuff always confuse me. If you can't afford it or aren't willing to buy it, that's cool. Most Arc items are beyond my, and most peoples, means as well. But Arc caters to a specific audience who care about a combination of craftsmanship, aesthetics, and exclusivity, all of which are equally legitimate reasons for modding as power and performance.
