Anything less than $600 is a steal on the Magnaflow systems for the 00-02 LS. Magnaflow just had a big price increase on all systems the first of the year and with them holding MAP (minimum advertised price) guidelines for retailers it's almost hard to compete with guys selling them for less than cost. Especially, if they are holding OLD stock. Retail for the system is $922.99 and shipping can cost anywhere from $60-$100 due to weight and size of the box. The price we have it listed at on our website is the MAP pricing and we can not advertise it for a penny less.
From what my Magnaflow rep is telling me is that the price of steel is so high and fuel costs rising makes it almost impossible to make any money off of the systems. Also, they are cracking down hard an ANY retailer adverstising any Magnaflow items below MAP. Now, you can sell it for whatever you want but if you advertise it for less that what they want you to advertise it for you won't be selling Magnaflow products any longer.
Now, like I said earlier if you can find a Magnaflow system for $600 or less then you need to buy it. That price is less than what we pay for it.
