It looks rugged. But for that price it should be REALLLLLY shiny and purty.

Default Got mine for $800, they bumped it up to $1000 a few weeks after I got it, WOOT!!

Im guessing platinum prices have gone up like every other metal. Stratmosphere said it was also the dollar vs euro. Is that one also HJS based?<ul><li><a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com/milltek_a4_catback.htm">http://www.stratmosphere.com/milltek_a4_catback.htm</a</li></ul>

Default stats? that's a link to Labree?

sorry, but I don't know enough about it but IMHO, it's hard to justify 3x the price....

Default Correct, I also looked at the labree cat, but when you look at the stats of the Milltek, you can...

understand why its so much more than the others. You can call LaBree and talk to the owner about the stats, I forgot what they are exactly, I think its 350, but he started going into how the cell count doesnt matter, its the total size and the amount of metal in grams per inch... So I again went back to the milltek and found it was just much nicer all around. Sorry for the bad post. Here is the Milltek stat page.<ul><li><a href="http://www.millteksport.com/hiflow.sports.cats.cfm">milltek cat stats</a></li></ul>
