Can someone tell me why the Borla is so relatively inexpensive?

Default Borla is STILL expensive for what it is. Most S4 parts are inexcusably expensive though.
So it just seems inexpensive

Default Its been better. I've only had it three or four weeks since you last saw it.
Its been in the shop trying to track down that squeak that I mentioned I had when I was down at your shop back in July.

The tech and Audi are pretty sure its the transmission, and they've been playing swap-the-parts for three months. I haven't seen it in a month -- they decided to replace all the bearings in the transmission, and they've been waiting for parts.

Its a big mess. I just hope I get it back soon...

I guess what you're wondering is whether it sucks - it doesn't ... I love my Borla exhaust

No, the question should be why are the other S4 exhausts so expensive?

Hmm, I have no idea what a "typical" exhaust would cost so I just assumed Borla was cheap
