Sure it's a typo or since it's discontinued they put some crazy price up there.

Whoa. Probably the later - they should have just removed it from the site. Some idiot is going to click "buy now".

Yeah, so it's to be idiot if you buy it, L tuned they always put that price when they don't have it in stock.

You would think they would pull the item from their site if it's unavailable. Out of stock is one thing, but they have had the $9,999 price tag on the HKS Hi Power exhaust for over a year. I know, because it was my first choice when I started looking last November. Just logged on to check it, and still the same.

I think they put it up there as a place holder since it is out of stock now.

1. They do not want people to buy with waiting list at normal price and have to send buyer email saying it is out of stock and track shipment for its buyer.
2. They do not want to remove from the site since it can be restocked (maybe).

So the best way is to place a ridiculous value that no one will actually buy it. But of course, there are idiots out there.

Seems like discontinued. Companies usually do that for some strange reason; eventually it maybe taken off the list.

For that price they will find them somewhere in the world and have them delivered the next day.
