🤣rofl

Hard for kids to not buy Chinese knock-offs when most of them can barely afford insurance on their $3000 “tuner”, do you honestly expect them to pay $1k+ for a cat back especially 90% of them buy exhaust as nothing more than sound effects generator for fly by videos.

I know it is very convenient to simply blame the knock-off’s and I am by no means speaking for those products. I am sure the knock-off’s is a contributing factor but admit it, it probably had a lot more to do with the economy and frankly the market simply is not there any more. Check the news, if even wally mart have problem selling dirt cheap shit necessities to people, can’t really be that hard to see why people can’t afford $1000 exhaust.
