    Check out ebay, you'll probably find both parts out there. My car came with both and to me that was a big selling point - I think the grille is $1k+ and the Tubi is $2k+

    You won't find a used CH grill---very hard to come by----just buy it new--expect to pay around $1400
    I would buy an X-OST exhaust and save the extra money you'd pay for the Tubi---around $2400 for X-OST or $3700 for Tubi

    On ebay 2 wks ago there was a used race tubi for sale and the price reached around $1800.00 but it did not sell because it didnot reach the min reserve set by the seller. So you might need around 2g to buy one on ebay. In Canada a new one sells for around $4200.00.

    Yeah, agreed that Tubis are excessively priced. Check around for lesser alternatives - they might sound better. Beware of used unless you can personally inspect them. Lastly, it is far easier (and economical) to just find a car that has had these modifications made. As an owner, you are hard pressed to get your investment returned when you sell your upgraded car. It will help salability, but you won't get your $6K back.

    Wow, I'm tempted to pick up an OEM exhaust for $150, modify it, and sell my Tubi...

    I have a race tubi and the stock exhaust and if I did not already have the tubi exhaust I would cut open the shielding on the stock muffler and open up the baffles for more free flow.
    If you have a mig welder(which I do) it is nothing to weld it up back again......would probably take a few hours at most.

    I would go for a capristo if you can, I've had X-ost, Tubi and now capristo on my car, nothing compares to the capristo, just in a different league altogether for build quality, and of course, sound!
