Zoomers Going Stainless (Group Buy)

Good news about another group buy and even better news that your going with SS for the new systems. Bad news is the price. I understand why your price will be more but that sets your price a lot higher than the others. What is the time frame of when the SS model will be available? Will you still make the Aluminized version in the future?

Not to take over your thread Ron but $799 is ALOT for a SS exhaust system. I got mine for under $500 installed and is very similar in sound, and very little drone which is not annoying.

Good luck with it thou

We are taking orders right now for a ship date of of 2 to 3 weeks from now. I think we will discontinue the Aluminized version for now unless the demand is there over the stainless. You guys need to make up your mind... Stainless or not. I've explained why we cost more, do it once do it right...

I think everyone wanted SS from the start thats why people requested it. But I also think that people will spend their money else ware and get an intake and exhaust for the price of your exhaust alone. I'm not saying its not worth it, I'm just saying from a buyers perspective its not as appealing at that price. If people can get the same performance for less money "aluminized" they might prefer that one, thats why I asked.

You will never be able to please everyone. I would recommend making the exhaust in both stainless and aluminium

Plus, you can get a Borla from one of this boards other adv. for 699.

I am not by any means telling you to abandon your aluminum pipe man. I said I would pay a little more for a SS, but 200 bucks more is a little steep! I was thinking like 100 bucks more. Damn man, your group price is higher than B&B and Borla"s prices on the internet!!!! I can get B&B to my door for $721 shipped for God's sake. Borla is still cheaper than yours at $784 to your door. Look...

So Mo,

Which exhaust would you get if you had to decide now? The B&B or Zommers(SS)? I can't decide now that the Zoomers is being offered in SS... the decision is harder to make. I want a quality cat-back SS system that has no drone from a reputable company that has been in business for awhile. Even though Ron(Zoomers) has only been in business for a short time it looks like he is an upstanding business man and seems to be offering a quality product. However, a lifetime warranty doesn't mean squat if the company is out of business!

Go with the B&B at these price points, it rocks.

I am going with B&B at this point as well. I will be ordering it probably this month. I am going to PM a few people like Qship and see if the sound deepened or got some drone as it broke in, just to be sure. If Zommers SS was the same price or slightly lower than B&B, it would be a harder choice. They do guarantee no drone. They do not sound exactly the same either. Make sure you like the sound of both. I am afraid Zoomers may have just priced themselves right out of the market. I would also listen to the sound clips of both about 500 more times, but then again I'm obsessive.

I am by no means an expert, but in my mind, I just cannot justify the difference in cash.

*TitanFan59* · 03-01-2006, 03:20 PM

The boys at B&B put alot of time into theirs and if anything the note will deepen a bit but not drone. A quality tuned system is the key and in the SS arena they have the best in my opinion.

gary748 · 03-01-2006, 03:49 PM

Thanks Guy's...I too am in the OCD club!

Zoomers may have a harder time selling their systems at those prices. Qships soundclips sound good but, does anyone have pics of the B&B install on a Titan? I'd like to see how the tubing is routed. The only pictures I have come accross are the tips. Let me know when you are going to order yours...maybe they'll give us a better price if a couple of us are going to purchase!

got_titan · 03-01-2006, 05:32 PM

how bout the people who bought a aluminized kit but wanted a ss kit.....any special break or anything for us that already purchased????

Hey guys, I guess I was just testing the waters to see if the stainless version would get shot down because of price point. Well as I remember when we first started here on Titan Talk our present version also suffered some criticism because of price. As we sold more and the reviews started coming back very positive you all started coming around. Purchasing anything you'll usually get what you pay for. A cat-back exhaust is more than the pipe and its material. I think you all focus too much on the pipe and not what makes our system unique... I guess what it comes down to is, what are your willing to pay for the SS pipe... $150.00 more? $100.00? We've sold a few of our tips here to fix all the so called great stainless exhaust systems out there or at least rid them of their drone. We get $130.00 bucks for that tip in a blink of an eye, you know why ? BECAUSE IT WORKS... SS pipe doesn't make our system work better, sound better or perform better. So what is it worth to you? I could stamp it guaranteed which we do. Warranty it for as long as you own the vehicle, wait a minute, we do that to. Tell me what is the magic number?
