Catless downpipes for m550?

I'm in the market for some downpipes for the m550, there are a couple i've been looking at arm, vrsf, seem to be in the 400-600$ range, and i've also seen some at 1.5-1.7k. I'm confused to why such the big price difference? Anyone with catless downpipes on their m550 pls help me understand better lol

HCP thinks their DP are worth more than 1K because they are in New Jersey and on occasion work on McLaren's and lambos,

you get
polished stainless steel that will char and oxidize overtime and will end up looking like ARM in 3 months
you also get:
a more heavy duty flex pipe that could last 10 years instead of 7...

there is nothing special about these pipes, they set a price point based on what they think people will pay for it, clearly they didn't do their research,

i love how they put 2999 as original price, now for only 1699

ok i found out that 17-19 is N63R and for 2020+ the engine code is different (N63T3) so the N63R downpipes wont fit in my car
