I doubt you can find a legit AVO kit for that low unless it's used or missing parts.

Show me one reputable site with it that low...
I'm looking to buy an AVO kit, and have gotten PM quotes around $3800 from vendors on here. Without saying more, here are some open examples of prices:

$3,906.98

$3999 with "free" AVO 2.5 CB Exhaust

Ha! Just talked to Paul from AVO... They didn't get that kit from them, so I wouldn't trust that site.

Dude, a vendor can tell you whatever they want. Just because they advertise on here doesn't make them reputable. But you're right if they're taking the hit good on them. Direct from the manufacturer is where I got mine... I'd check with Paul and AVO before buying any "cheap" kit from a vendor.

I'm not saying they are aren't legit, I'd just check with manufacturer first. Usually if a deal is to good to be true it's actually is.

Good luck with your research
