I'd say that sounds pretty good. It also sounds like they put together a
quality system, as opposed to much of the aftermarket junk on the market from
some companies. It does sound, though, like the exact same components could
be purchased at many local performance exhaust shops. I guess in this case it
boils down to which is more convenient for a buyer in his given situation.
Techtonics does appear to have their s**t together, though.
