Torq Master Exhaust

[F6B-RICH]

Since jimmy doesn't ship to California, I made an enquiry through WIngstuff. This was their response:


"Hello Simon,

I got hold of Torq Master and asked you question of them. The Inverted King Snakes are available in Black Nickle, but are a special order item and will take at least three weeks to manufacture before they can be shipped. Price of the mufflers are $899.

If you have an interest, please give me a call at the number below."

$899?

You should check to see if that price has the core charges in it for the shields.If it does you get back around $200-$300(can't remember the core charges) after you ship your chrome ones back to Jimmy.

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!

That price has to be due to a different manufacturing process maybe due to California emissions? Black chrome pipes are $699 and then a refundable core of $260 for front shields done in black chrome. My card was charged $959 for black chrome Daytona's.

[Darkknight]

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...

Perhaps the difference was in the shipping? Wingstuff has free shipping, Jimmy does not.
