+1 I think the cheapest route is going through Kenneth.

IMO, there is more to it than finding the cheapest place.

I talked to Kenneth at KBMotorsports last year when I was in the market for exhaust. He talked to me for quite some time explaining all my options. He contacted several manufacturers of other exhaust to get db ratings for me. He was extremely patient with me and didn't try to talk me into something I didn't want. I decided to get the barkers and he gave me a great price on them. Unfortunately, I experienced some shipping difficulties with my purchase. He contacted me at 7pm my time the night I received my exhaust (10pm his time) regarding this matter. He then contacted Barker's Exhaust first thing the next morning and corrected the shipping issues. The next day I had everything I had everything in my hands. That's customer service!

I also had another issue with the exhaust about six months later. I contacted Kenneth and he stepped right up to correct the issue. I can't say enough good things about Kenneth. He provides excellent customer service before, during, and after the purchase. This, to me, is more important than just getting the cheapest price. It's just a bonus that he probably has one of the best prices on the exhaust out there.

I would also like to mention the outstanding customer service I received from Tim Barker. Both issues I had with the exhaust was handled promptly and professionally. I've dealt with other exhaust manufacturers in the past and none even come close to the customer service I received from Tim. He stands behind his products. If there is a problem, he will make it right. Alot of companies say they do that, but in reality most don't.

I no longer offer them at the cheapest price. 

The industry is tough and the small margins are just not worth it.

If you want awesome customer service give us a call and pay the extra $20 or whatever it might end up being.  I have probably sold close to 150 sets of these in the last year and I cant remember an unhappy customer.

Either one of these vendors will take care of you. I have never dealt with KB but I can vouch for Steve at Tech quad shop....he's a straight shooter and a good guy to deal with  :thumbs:

Thanks! I honestly try to give every question/order a lot of attention.  It wasn't to many years ago I was on the opposite side of the fence being a consumer.
