The FR-S's at the Scion First Drive Event http://frsbaltimore.eventbrite.com/
were equipped with this exhaust and the TRD suspension. The exhaust sounded awesome... not annoyingly loud, just deep and throaty. The suspension looked like what the stock height should have been... bout 1.5" drop. Excellent products IMO.

Negative. Drop isn't that much.

What is the drop then? There weren't any nearby for me to compare, but they looked a good deal better. They seemed about similar to the difference between the Mugen SS and stock height on my RSX which are 1.5 drop.

why does everybody keep saying "that's just msrp"???
I feel like there is something I don't know. I've never heard of companies offering "invoice" price (or whatever you call it) for aftermarket parts.

Does "MSRP" imply it's negotiable..? Specifically if it's bought from the dealership.

I have never paid msrp for anything. Most companies give at least 10-20% off msrp. Hell, I've seen as much as 30-35% from folks I know.

It implies it is the manufacturer suggested retail price. Lots of wiggle room. If they want to make the sale that is..
