I'm not seeing the special part.

Compare with Chinese 'Brand X':

Yours Brand X
1. Not built in US Check Check
2. 304SS mandrel bent Check Check
3. TIG welded Check Check
4. Questionable marketing Check Check
5. Warrantied for life ? Nope
6. Dyno tested Check Depends on importer
7. Tip option Check There will be countless
8. In it for the money 1st post was promoting this Definately

In detail:
1. Why dance around the fact that you are in Canada with the North American part? Are you at least sourcing your tooling or materials from there to have some justification to patriotic American buyers? If that's the case, at least say 'Made in Canada with American-sourced materials.'

2. Everything on the market will be.

3. Most will be. Saw a GT-R exhaust from a brand-name company that was flux-cored with TIG a $ option. But most Chinese stuff is robotic TIG, exhaust anyways, headers not so much.

4. Any details on this? V-bands? Secret sauce? At least tell us what will make your product different.

5. Warrantied for life. A plus for people thinking of keeping it a long time. This is the only thing I see as somewhat special, but there are importers of Chinese systems that are offering this, too.

6. I've known enough tuners to know that these are not 100% reliable or repeatable. Would you be willing to tie in a guarantee of gains with your warranty. +X hp minimum on Dyno Dynamics, +Y hp minimum on Dynojet?

7. Tip option is hardly a big deal, there is going to be a ton of competition making exhausts for this car, with tons of available options.

8. This response is mainly because the 'North American made' part irked me as misleading (despite me being Canadian), and that your first posts were trying to solicit business. No introduction, not engaging in the theory, just 'I want to sell you guys exhaust.'
