They are right at $530 shipped once you add the handling and shipping charges. I do admit, though, that it's good marketing on their part.

304 Stainless is a very brittle exhaust. 409 Stainless is an exhaust grade stainless and can stand up to the elements better. Yes you will get surface rust but it will not attack the piping. Ive had our system on my car for 5 years and I do have surface rust but its never gone any farther than just on top of the pipe.
The bad thing about 304 is that if you have and hangers welded to the pipe they will eventually break off. Thats due to the expanding and contracting of the pipe. Its like taking a paper clip and bending it back and forth it will break.

I don't think that you and I will ever agree on this. Of course you are going to recommend the product your company sells over the competition but in my experience, there is no argument at all. The 304 is a superior product. I had a Borla system on my Mustang GT for 6 years and it looked as good they day I sold the car as it did the day I put it on. Running it down the track and everything, no cracking, breaking, etc... Not to mention, the hangers are a bit larger than a paperclip.
I had a Magnaflow on my previous F-150 and I hated it. A very good friend of mine has a Magnaflow on his F-150 as well and is not too pleased with it, especially since I put the Roush Exhaust (Made by Borla) on my truck.
Don't get me wrong, Magnaflow makes a good product, but Borla (Roush) makes an excellent product.

That doesn't include shipping. It's another $60.
Woodhouse charges $70 for shipping.
EDIT: This is about the cheapest place I have seen. $530 shipped.
