:shock: They were less than £500 when I looked at the PP site a few weeks ago. Obviously figure import taxes and transport on top of that so prob around £650. £800 is a bit steep - maybe about right for the Dep II Pro, though.

Rare, so may be commanding a premium if you can find a new one.

Tim at TB has said they are £800ish new

From Madpsi.......

$1550 shipped excluding tax for regular = £730 + tax!!

$1700 shipped excluding tax for pro = £880 + tax!!

These prices are shipment to the US as well!!!

Nearer £850 for the regular to get it here and near £1000 for the pro!! 8)

I paid £550 for a second hand one from Japan a few years ago.

A truly excellent exhaust. Tried and tested, which I think is important :thumleft:

That's just crazy money :o

I can understand paying good money for the 3" Pro, but £800 for a mostly mild steel 2.5" system? You'd seriously need your head examining when there are fully stainless 3" setups like the Berk readily available for less than half the money and with better performance. Having had both, it's equally good in terms of build quality and noise and will last a hell of a lot longer too.

I don't know where those figures from, but if you click on 'Add to Cart' on Madpsi's website it's around £660 all in for a Dep II Regular in the US - I can't think shipping to the UK would be £140 more. That's still seriously expensive for an exhaust that isn't fully stainless.

Just goes to show the quality of the system!! Mild steel exhausts deal with the heat better than stainless.......

The exhaust is not even half mild steel.....Only the flexi and the Y piece. The boxes, sides, pipework in between, and tailpipes are all stainless steel.....

Pipework for the regular is 2.75 inch and olny reaches nearer 2.5 at the Y piece...... The only difference between the pro and the regular is that the Y piece pipework expands to over 3" rather than reducing. How could you justify buying the pro for that much and not the regular when we are talking about such a small area of exhaust pipework??

The fit is unbelievable and the welds are of much higher quality than a Nur Spec, Berk, Apexi N1 etc....

If you want the best and most free flowing you are expected to pay a premium. 8)

Just bought a car with this exhaust on and the joins of the Y piece are rotten and a dent in one of the cans
