That price $899, is not with the core charge. My price was over $1K ($1099 I believe) with the core charge being returned after my shields were inspected by Jimmy and found to be acceptable.
Jimmy was to call me about the black pipes and the re-coating progress. Either I missed his call or he forgot. I'll call him this morning (west coast time, this afternoon EST) to see if I can get an Idea when I can expect these pipes.
Chrome King Snakes retails for $474.00. Black Chrome King Snakes retails for $899.00
Doing the maths, the process of black chroming a pair of pipes must therefore cost $425.00!
Chrome Daytonas retails for $474.00. Black Chrome Daytonas retails for $664.00
Black chroming Daytonas cost $190.00
As for as I can see, the difference between the Torq Master King Snakes and the Daytonas, are just the way the tips are cut!
Well now, That's discouraging... My card was charged $1099.00 on 6/5. I went direct to Jimmy at TorqMaster for the Black Daytona pipes that I'm still waiting for.
Hmmm.
Are you going through wingstuff? maybe they get a discount?
The torqmaster web page says chrome daytona's retail for $499. Not $474. That's not a big difference but If I could have gotten charged less for the pipes I haven't received I would feel a little better. You can probably tell I'm getting more disapointed by the minute...
