Maybe because it was a huge thread and awesome interest....then everyone saw how much it was going to be and abandoned ship

Sure you can get a 409 system cheaper! It's way better than mild steel but you're going to have to replace it eventually when it rots through.
And, of course, you can buy a really cheap mild steel system, but you're putting on worse metal than Ford uses on the stock system. In the snow belt, that will last 2 or 3 years.
Lastly, we got a fantastic sound out of this thing. Sound is subjective but 4 out of 5 people are going to chose this sound over the competition!
(that may be overstepping my non-vendor status but we should be back up and running shortly)

I don't think the price is all that bad. SW ran a 10% off for Christmas a few days ago. Maybe there will be another sale or group buy in the future. $700 to me is reasonable if the product is made to last. I'm new to Fords and its aftermarket products, but $700 is about what I paid for my Borla catback on my 4Runner and the axle-back for my IS350.

It's priced exactly where a 304L stainless system needs to be. Actually, its less expensive than our competitors' 304 systems!

I want one of these systems. That kind of sound is something every ecoboost owner should love .I wish I was closer and you could have kept my truck for six months doing development, haha.
I'm on the SW side. I don't think anything's fishy, just observations. I hope it comes back with a vengeance!!

Thanks for the support!
It certainly took us a long time to get the sound right but we are very happy with the results. The first production run of systems should be making their way to shipping as we speak.
