I am sure by now everyone understands by now the dire shortage on almost everything right now. Stainless is no exception. I have enough material to make 50 more mufflers and then that's it. I can't afford to sit on 2-3 times the material costs to make the same qty of mufflers moving forward. I have long contemplated making steel versions of my mufflers and headers for both the 4cyl and 6cyl cars.
it is a way to keep everything affordable and continue the awesome design. It doesn't mean I would never make Stainless products any further but would mean that there could be a cheaper option. So the question is would it be something folks would buy? I am not sure how many 1000 dollars would sell out of Stainless but I think steel for under 425ish would? Thoughts? |

I bought a Dansk for my 73 2.0 and it to loud for me. I hate the sound. If I could get a less expensive replacement that is quieter and throaty I would go for it...

It's perfect sound level and construction but not long term sustainable. Stainless shortages will drive the retail upwards of 1200.. I retail now at 850 . Just blows me away we are in this situation. |
