very good point. skiers has been charging a premium(as have every boat maker) for the extcat340, but as volume does go up, it should get slightly cheaper. those cats do cost more than standard exhaust manifolds, but how much of that $2200 was skiers/dealers charging for an option..

The issues with catalytic converters is that it is not an electronic device. Electronics usually cost a lot for R&D which is why they are expensive in small numbers but as volumes increase the price drops. Catalytic converters contain precious metals which are just expensive, and the more of these metals that are used the more the supply goes down and demand goes up. So if anything this $2,200 could increase in time.

Actually, check AutoZone or Pep Boyz, an auto cat is now about $100-150 for a universal. In 1990, they were about $500. I understand that the cost of metals has gone up, but there is a profit point of a $2200 upgrade engine. When that engine becomes standard, you can reduce the profit for that upgrade and just add the actual cost (which has to be less than $2200). The options on any vehicle has a profit built into the price, or else no one who offer options.

If it were an options to NOT have CATS I'd be all over that one! But sounds like you won't be able to get them without after the first quarter?
And THESACK..........that is some funny stuff right there
