This guy is selling flowmaster 80 series after cat systems for $95.

Why is it so cheap?

It's not the real catback system. It's just an 80 series muffler with some piping he put together. The real american thunder system has dual 3 inch stainless steel slash cut tips and all mandrel bent aluminized tubing that connects directly to the cat.

To be specific, it isn't an "after cat" system, as common defined. It's just the muffler (and only 2.5" inlet to boot) and a couple of tailpipes. No I-pipe.

The muffler through Jeg's cost $73 new.

Add in ~$20 worth of pipe like he did, and that puts it at $93.

One thing to keep in mind is shipping. He doesn't state his in the auction..... *RED FLAG*
