On later BMWs there is just axleback. Billy Boat might have a cat-back but its not out yet. I know they have one for the 335i.
very astute observation, all too true

The last evo fq400 was the same price, so mitsu must have sold them with some success if they are bringing this back.
You simply can't just convert UK to US prices like that. It simply does not work that way.
Exhaust does not do much for the 135, and a new BOV does not add power. Basically software ($600) + Downpipes ($800 catted) + FMIC ($1k) will put you at about 370 at the wheels. Nobody has hit 400 yet. Turbos are just too small to make much more than high 300s. Of course, I am pretty sure the the EVO here is talking flywheel power.

Where do you keep pulling this out of? They're going to produce a limited number of them and sell them, just like any other car. Why would they tune them to order?

Not true, there have been plenty of limited production cars that tanked in sales and were given away at cheap prices just to get them out of inventory.
This is what you got from the last FQ400 THIS IS THE 2005 EVO8 VERSION...
"Mitsubishi Motors UK has taken the wraps off the fastest saloon car ever produced by a major manufacturer priced 46,999 (approx. $85,000).
...they modified the Lancer's legendary 2.0-litre turbocharged engine so that it now produces a mighty 405 bhp and 355 lb-ft of torque.
This is enough to propel the FQ400 from 0-60 mph in an incredible 3.5 seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 175 mph. It is a performance that even some of the world's most exotic supercars struggle to match. The 330,000 Porsche Carrera GT, for example, requires 3.9 seconds to sprint from 0-62 mph, while the ultra-exclusive Pagani Zonda needs 3.7 seconds. The BMW M3 – hitherto the benchmark ‘everyday supercar' – takes 5.3 seconds to achieve the same feat.
The key to the MR FQ400's performance lies not just in its engine, but also in its sophisticated chassis. Like every car in the Evolution VIII MR (Mitsubishi Racing) range, the FQ400 benefits from Mitsubishi's electronically-controlled four-wheel drive system (4WD) and a Bilstein suspension system honed at the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife racetrack. The introduction of a new braking system on the FQ400 also ensures that it has the ‘stop' to match its ‘go'.
Subtle aesthetic enhancements differentiate the FQ400 from the rest of the MR range and improve its high-speed stability. Ralliart aero mirrors, a carbon fibre front lip spoiler and a ‘sharks tooth' rear vortex generator, are as functional as they are attractive. And it further benefits from gloss black lightweight Team Dynamics alloy wheels and red ‘FQ400' badging.
Inside, the sporting, focussed theme continues with a Momo steering wheel and Recaro bucket seats. The fascia has carbon fibre detailing and there's a discreet plaque next to the gearstick, which reveals the car's production number. The ambience is purposeful but the FQ400 is no stripped out road racer. Electric windows and mirrors and climate control are all fitted as standard, highlighting the Lancer's appeal as the world's most practical and versatile supercar.
As befits its status as an official Mitsubishi Motors UK product, the FQ400 has undergone extensive reliability testing and is supplied with a three years/36,000 mile manufacturer's warranty. This exciting flagship can be ordered now from approved Mitsubishi Ralliart dealers in the UK.
