Same can be said for products made elsewhere.
When they are reverse engineered and cut corners on top of no development investment , you end up with what appears to be one heck of a deal.

From what I understand it depends on the company ordering the manufacturing run. You can pay for closer tolerances on parts, but since it takes more work and leaves more room for error, it costs more.

it's not always being cheap, sometimes we are just going for a look or a sound and its cost prohibitive come on $700 for a set of pipes is a little out there for most of us to handle after shelling out 15K plus for the bike. i went the cheap route but some oem muffelers on ebay and will be modifying them to help get me that harley sound i want but not everyone has that option these aftermarket companies have got to calm down on these prices imsorry but about a hundred dollars in parts and chrome does not justify a $700 price tagi dont want to hear the research and development excuse that is not true...
