The cost is going to stay high until more people change over to aftermarket. New they are over $700. Better off buying aftermarket!!!dreadly said:
Thanks for the offer SFCMcCan but I was just wondering what the standard was for Strykers. As I mentioned, mosts can't give away the OEM exhaust for Raiders.SFCMcGan said:
Make some of these clowns an offer, There is no way anyone is giving them that much money for stock exhaust. If they want to move it they will sell for a good price otherwise it will be an awfully big paper weight to have lying around. I personally would not pay anyone more then about $150 for the complete stock exhaust shipped but then again I am not looking for one either...dreadly said:

LOL... You were not asking $600 for your stock exhaust either.SFCMcGan said:I can assure you...

It could just be the difference in forums ... in the scenerio above, I've seen people step up and give the exhaust away for the cost of shipping because as Bozzy stated, for those that have changed it out, it's just a heavy paperweight.SFCMcGan said:
In agreement with you but also there is a thing called supply and demand. You have more then a few here with stock exhaust laying around and one to three perspective buyers as most want the aftermarket sets. Doesn't seem like a sellers market. Most will just end up having them take up space in the corner of the garage or basement. Those that actually want to recover that used space in the Garage or Basement will understand that and bring that price way down. I am one of those, I have a chrome set with 4 half inch holes drilled in the baffles. I would let them go for a song but it is a waste of my time to even advertise them.SFCMcGan said:I can assure you...

But lets put this in perspective... If someone dropped their bike.. say ..screwed up the stock exhaust... but wanted to keep the bike stock (yes.. there are some people who like the stock form)... Now lets say that same person paid dealer prices... total that up and you are looking at $3421.00 and that is just the big stuff.. not the re-useable stuff like clamps and bolts... and just for reference see this website:

Now lets say just for fun... that this same person doesn't have as much money as you do, and just can't afford to purchase a stock muffler for several thousand dollars.... $300.00 sure does start to look good... not to you rich folk it don't... but to us down here in reality it sure does look good!
Holey fricken moley,$3,421.00, that's a 3rd of what a new bike would cost. Hope no one ever wrecks their bike and needs a new front end and pipes and god forbid a new motor. I wonder what a new motor would cost?SFCMcGan said:I can assure you...

Roger that!immortal13 said:Why do I gotta be a clown? I don't even like clowns!!!
Seriously though, the stock exhaust new from Yama is frickin ridiculous. It's certainly not $700 or 800 bucks....it's more like several thousand like SFCMc said. I would sell my black OEM exhaust for $300 (I would like 400), but I'm not willing to give it away either. I had some jakeleg on here(name I won't mention) that scolded me up and down on a private message when I offered him mine at $400. He told me that was "ridiculous" and that "I knew" that I could get an aftermarket for $200 that looks "way better". I told him that whatever he was smoking I wanted some.
