You're definitely right however uber's not a good example, most of the losses will continue because the losses are due to administrative and legal costs because of having to fight governments and establish in other big cities in other countries as well and continually fight against the lobby to ban them from those cities. In fact in 2014 and 2013 the first two quarters of both years they lost like 60-70 millions according to Forbes because of that. I know because my last semester term paper was on that for ECON

If your pricing is lower because you're just trying to undercut the competition, then of course that's a poor business plan. But if, like Holley/Hooker (I assume...), you have access to material at lower cost because of volume, you have in-house capability for things like coatings/plating, and you have the equipment to create prototypes and bring them to production faster than small companies who have to outsource a significant portion of that work, not to mention they've been making exhaust products longer than the employees as most boutique shops have even been ALIVE, then the price will be lower because of efficiency and experience, and that's a big part of good business plan. |

Sure, there still needs to be padding for R&D and such. But if the R&D costs less for the reasons listed before, then the company can charge less and still be covering their costs plus profit, and in doing so, potentially grab a larger market share through increased volume (assuming the product performs the same). There's nothing ground-breaking here...it's just basic accounting. |

LOL!!!! I think it was meant for anyone interested, though it would be awesome to see the entire forum and meet everybody. I'm sure they can accommodate. I've been to their facility and they can easily accommodate anyone who replied or posted on this thread. |

Looks like some of the stuff they've made so far has already made it to there website Also the installation manuals are from when you first started getting pics of your car being worked on 12/18/2015: http://documents.holley.com/199r10959.pdf It's also there first import in the blackheart lineup: Good to know they are following trends an not limiting themselves to american muscle. It's not as easy an install as the competitors which might completely turn people off to it, it reminds me of the corsa axle back on corvettes of how you need to cut the stock exhaust system off rather than a simple bolt on install.

Edit: Though I REALLY don't like that you need to cut up your mid-pipe for the install... |
