We are expecting a full Akra to be AU$10k here (noting $AU is about the same as the US dollar nowadays) and that is less than 10% of the purchase price of the car here. I won't pay that much for an exhaust system.

Another thing to remember is that there are only ~700 (allegedly) 1Ms going to the US out of the total ~2700 world wide production. NO OTHER COUNTRY buys the car at the same relative (doing a US$ conversion to other currencies) price as the US so you are in the minority for getting the car cheaper and hence an exhaust that Akra is offering globally is not worth as much relatively to the cars purchase price anywhere else. I mean, if I brought a full system for the price you guys are talking, circa $6k, and a 1m costs $110k here then relatively all is good, so would the price at that amount.

FYI
A full Porsche GT3 Akra is $25k over here , mind you the car cost $340k here............
