This is some info that I have already posted on the "hr" site, but I wanted to post it here also, just in case some folks don't get over there regularly.
This is about parts prices...in this case it concerns a Supertrapp muffler, but I have seen this type of thing before for other stuff.....and this REALLY BURNS  MY A _ S.
I was looking through some parts catalogs, motorcycle and auto, and noticed a SIGNIFICANT PRICE DIFFERENCE FOR THE SAME PRODUCT...one in the auto and the other in the motorcycle  catalog.

In the J&P catalog, like many other motorcycle catalogs, the chromed steel Supertrapp muffler is priced at $254.99.  On the Supertrapp website it is $263.

In the Summit auto catalog there are several stainless steel mufflers listed of varying sizes and finishes.  They are:  black-$125.95,  satin stainless-$159.95,  polished stainless-$159.95.

Even the picture used in the Summit catalog is the exact same picture used in motorcycle catalogs, and on their website!

All mufflers are 4" diameter, the lengths can be 17, 18, 19, 22, or 24 inches, depending on which one you are looking at.

The point being, we are being charged almost twice the price for a chromed steel muffler as apposed to a stainless muffler...AND THE ONLY REASON IS THAT ONE IS IN A MOTORCYCLE  CATALOG AND THE OTHER IS IN AN AUTO CATALOG.

Do any of you remember the old movie line......
I'M MAD AS H _ _ L  AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!

PASS THE WORD...ONLINE AND BY MOUTH...CALL AND EMAIL THE MANUFACTURERS AND THE CATALOGS ...LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS RIPOFF.  

They can charge whatever they want.

You can spend your money wherever you want.

It all works out in the end.
