Default Working on group buy pricing on the Magnaflow 16493 catback exhaust kits...

I contacted about 6 sellers of this kit and have heard back from 3. Here is the best pricing so far and it appears that is doesnt need to be a group rate, but rather a call in price break:


"Our best prices are off ebay so we could do $585 plus the actual shipping to each person. Or if you want to flat it we can do $649 shipped anywhere in the 48 US states."

"Every price will be a little different because of shipping fees,for instance shipping to TX is cheaper than shipping to PA.So that being said if they call us direct we can run the numbers and offer then the best price for their area."



Is anyone interested in me pursing the best pricing on this kit? If so how many people would be in and how low is low enough?

Cat-Back Exhaust System
2000-04 A6 2.7L Turbo AWD
2.5''Stainless Steel Tubing
4'' Rolled/Straight Cut Tips
Dual Rear Exit



Here is a soundclip of it with stock DP's on an allroad:

in understand, but what they charge for exhaust systems these days are INSANE! i could go to a muffler shop and have them weld in new resonators and manaflow mufflers for less then what it would cost for me to buy the 700 dollar bolt in system... and then on top of it, id have tog et my *** under the car to install it.


same thing goes for the down pipes... 1200?! its a ****ing metal pipe a couple feet long for christ sake

LOL, I agree! I was thinking of having a shop do the install myself, but I started doing the math and it was getting close to the kits price before shipping with the shop materials (pipes, clamps, reducers, etc), labor, 2 mufflers and then 2 tips. I figure why not see if I can get some kit pricing low.

shop it around, also dont just go to the euro shops, check out the honda boy shops, their welders are JUST as competent and usually charge alot less because they do more regular business

i was quoted 125 for magnaflow mufflers and tips installed out the door
