A lot of time this is the case with re-using something else and making it adapt. TRD never made their systems. They pay someone to do it, sometimes the lowest bidder to get the best price behind the scenes, then dealers double that price.

I've seen this many times when manufactures offer stuff they don't make themselves. I'm not too surprised to see this, but most consumers don't know about it.

I've sold a lot of the Gibson side dual, which you can get in black ceramic, or polished. THe cool thing if you get the black tips is, the whole end section of the exhaust is all black ceramic going into the black tips. This way you don't see the silver exhaust tubing going into the tips. I also have a single rear exit system also if you don't want the dual, and you can do polished or black ceramic tip on that too.


Many are happy with this system and it's another option. I also have on a LAbor day sale right now.

Many more pics here in this thread with order link, etc. I will also have this trd system soon, but honestly unless you have to have a trd tip it's way marked upm even at my cost.
