My original question was to try detmeining if the original poster of the
"canadian parts may be cheaper" post was comparing apples and apples or
apples and oranges when stating that the Walker exhaust for $299
Canadian was the same product as the Falcon exhaust from the big 3 at
approx. $300 US.

Based on the replies so far, it seems that the Walker and Falcon
exhausts are _NOT_ the same products. Walker is mild steel and Falcon is
stainless steel.

Do I have this straight now? If this is the case then the original
comparison of exhausts is invalid since I would expect a stainless
version of the same exhaust system to cost more than the mild steel
version.
