Question Tubi exhaust system!

I understand these exhaust are made strictly to exotic sports cars such as lambo, Ferrari's, and others alike. Are these exhausts strictly made for rear mid engines?

Question

"Master Craftsman" is that a bad company? Maybe it's expensive because they state its hand crafted.

If you only make products for exotics and market accordingly, people will be branded to see this product as superior. It is worth noting that most of these exotics feature mid-engine layouts. I don't know if this company offers products for engines in front of the driver. In any case, it is not that difficult to build an exhaust, and hand crafting them does not necessarily mean that they are better than other exhausts; however, I am willing to bet that this company does try to make the best exhausts that they can.

They sound so good in part because the engines these cars have can't really sound bad. Seriously, try complaining about the sound of a Modena. It really can't be done.

My local exhaust shop uses a hand mandrel bender, so does that qualify as hand built? I mean seriously, that's the same to me as saying 'Fine Italian Leather.' Hate to break it to you, but cows have the same skin in America, Italy or Russia for gods sake.
Just another status symbol for people who need something to brag about at the country club.

That's true you have a point. I wonder if they do make mufflers for front engine cars. I bet it would sound great in the new camaro.
