I'm hoping that our openness and willingness to share pretty much everything we are learning, our design concepts, ideas and the reasons why we are developing in the direct we have gone will buy us some loyalty when somebody either knocks off our design or sends one overseas. I want to sell the most competitively priced parts on the market but we do build every single unit we sell by hand, right here in our shop. As part of that commitment, we have avoided any types of warehouse distributorship deals with third party resellers in order to keep our margins to a minimum to benefit our customers first and foremost. While we may not have the lowest price on the market for our parts, we have the absolute highest value for money. Period.

Our current design of the combined overpipe/downpipe is well within the 6" limitation of stock catalyst location, so we should be all good to go with that setup. We may have to evaluate some options for bringing noise levels down with catless header, catted overpipe/downpipe and stock midpipe, but we can get that dialed in pretty easily.

You know some people will buy the knockoffs. The fact that your stuff is almost 100% US sourced/built (and can be 100% with your own tips) and is hand TIG welded means something for many of us though. I have a feeling many will be interested in your products because of these threads!
