I have been in business for 20 years. M&k exhaust product line was sold 7 years ago to rarlyl8 and I still stay in touch with him.. My old product line still sells about the same amount of exhaust it did 7 years ago.. My current product line has been steady and I expect it will grow as its 914 specific and there is a good following for them.. I expect the 914-6 conversion market to stay steady.. Eric Shae and I talked about it yesterday that there will always be a handful of 914-6 conversions going on at any given time..

I want to get into more 914 4cyl exhaust components but still am feeling out if there is a market for that.. I have a wonderful 2.0 muffler but sell a small amount each year.. I do think for me the next market should be 944 and boxster as these are the now the affordable market which is where most people gravitate towards..

Not seeing much of an uptick in anything now as my parts are fairly expensive and great tax return parts but with the current state of things I will see a drop..

My magnesium repair business though has exploded and I turn work away..
