>buy one of the about 10 gen2 Vipers in Germany from a collector who rode it 400 km in x years and never had it registered
>no rear mufflers, but necessary for technical inspection and bolice. also just an unbearable drone.
>unable to get original exhaust parts here, so I have to find somebody to build me a legal custom one
>find a premium shop willing to do it, inspects everything, turns out cats are empty too just like the muffler housings in the side skirts
>reeeeeeeee
>has to do a full custom built on the complete exhaust with street-legal cats and everything
>10000 Euro including taxes

and now as it is finished, this POS on four wheels suddenly decides to not run on all cylinders on the passenger side anymore, so the next bill is about to rape my wallet.

All roads lead to Rome and every reasonable man just sticks to a boring bone-stock modern 911 Carrera.

Just move to a better country and you could get a full custom exhaust for less than a quarter is that.

Wouldnt it have been cheaper to just call an oem shop or use a middleman to ship the original parts to Germany from the USA if they still make em? I know everything has to be TUV certified which is cancer. But you could have also just ordered one from some pole at 1/2 of the cost + some vodka.

That sucks but it'll def be worth it. Been a dream car of mine since '93.
My headers (w/ cats) are 10k from the dealer for some reason kek.

You didn't even bother to have original exhaust shipped from America? Could have even paid a shop in America to fab one up and send it to you it'd still be cheaper than 10k euro.
Also why did it cost so much anyway, did they fabricate headers as well?
I cant imagine cats and mufflers add up to 10k euros.

So why couldn't you go on Facebook and pay half that amount for a used exhaust from another viper owner?

Damn bro that exhaust shop is bending you over backwards.
I welded two exhaust systems from scratch and repaired a full Titanium exhaust.
I've never charged that much for a full exhaust ever.
And I'm back purging tubes and everything.

Chrysler is one of the "Big 3" in America, but we really have the Big 2 and the Short Bus Retards at Chrysler/Dodge/Stellaris. The company so shitty that they have to periodically change the name because even the normies figure out that it's the worst car company in existence.
