Anyone know anything about the Skunk2 Cat-back?

[mah p5]

I was just shopping around on NOPI and found that they have listed a Skunk2 Cat-back exhaust system for the Protege 5. Anyone have any info on this system? It's a bit pricey though at $723. Honestly, I don't think it's worth that kinda money, but I like the look compared to the Bosal. Thanks in advance.

For that price you could get the JIC exhaust and have money left over...Skunk2 must be trippin if they think someone's gonna pay that much for a cat-back

Skunk2 currently makes its cat-back for the Protege sedan. The P5 is on the works according to their tech.

I wouldn't take any price I saw on NOPI as a final price, they're usually among the higher priced placed to buy stuff from in my experience. I say call Skunk2 direct and ask them who some of their dealers are. Then find a dealer who would interested in doing a groupbuy. Come back to ProtegeMP3 with the groupbuy proposal and start the list up. Or.....you could just call up Rishie or Sean at Auto R&D and see if he can get them. Skunk2 recently struck a deal with a Japanese parts manufacturer, which in turn made their prices climb a bit and also got them better quality. I remember their booth a SEMA was pretty impressive, it had WRX equal length headers and a whole bunch of other parts.
