Ive already referenced it, but stainless is irrelevant to quality. Even in the harshest of winters, an aluminized system will last for at least 5+ years, and probly closer to 10+. How many plan to keep their trucks for 10+ years?

I personally have a grand total of $192 in my exhaust setup, and I would challenge anyone similarly modded to notice a difference in power, acceleration OR sound between mine and a OVERPRICED catback system.

I dont have a problem with people attempting to sell their products. I dont even have a problem with people selling UNBELIEVABLY OVERPRICED products if the consumers are naive enough to buy it. My problem is when people ask for honest opinions, people come in with (like yourself above) "If you wanna do it RIGHT", or, "Dont go the CHEAP route, do it RIGHT the first time", somehow insinuating that those of us not stupid enough to feed the beast and did our own setup is wrong or not as good as whatever your offering.

So, having that all said, again, I have no problem with people attempting to sell their product, but I also will at least let it be known there is no single right way to do it, and the same results can be had with much less money invested. Maybe Im the only one that still cares where my money goes, and what the product Im buying is worth.


Choices are what make our lives interesting IMO... Some may choose to save by just replacing a stocker with a Flowmaster, but just because someone chooses a cat back over a muffler swap doesn't mean he was ripped off either.

There is a lot of engineering that goes into an exhaust system. From the basic design built on the vehicle to building the jig's to test fitting pre-production runs making sure fitment is repeatable is quite a task. Then there is a sound evaluation and performance testing and then perhaps changes to be made to make improvements.

We at Zoomers go the extra mile to insure quality, performance and reliability. Something to consider before making your statement; “I don’t even have a problem with people selling UNBELIEVABLY OVERPRICED products if the consumers are naive enough to buy it."

There are many factors, materials, affordability the products reputation as well as feedback on these forums is all important before making a decision. So IMHO there is nothing naive about it, if the choice is right for you.
