Slip on vs. full system. A slip on should be much much cheaper price point.

Are slip ons really worth that much money though? I'd say $300-400 tops for a slip on. Accessories and aftermarket parts for the CB seemed way overpriced. I spent $400 on a full black ceramic coated exhaust system for my shadow I had, superb quality. $650-800 will get you a full thunderheader system for a harley. Is it because this is all imported? I'd love to get a slip on but no way I'll fork out that much for a small performance gain and a few dbs till these prices come down. for $735 I'd expect it to retain the heat shield.
Part of the price determination is the number of units a manufacturer can expect to sell. Kits for Shadows and various HDs are going to sell many times more than a low-volume bike like the CB, so they can amortize the design, tooling, and manufacturing costs over many more customers.

The sound of Remus is spectacular, the best I've heard so far in honda CB1100. Better than complete systems as yoshimura .... Congratulations

That makes sense. But it's still hard to swallow a $700+ bill for a slip on.

Ok here's one way to think of it which may help you justify it (I use this reasoning with my wife when I want to purchase a used motorcycle). A particular product be it motorcycle or slip on muffler only costs you the DIFFERENCE of what you PAY for it, and what you SELL it for. For example I bought my last used Yamaha FZ-1 for $3000. I rode it a couple of years, and sold it for $2850. So owning that FZ-1 only cost me $150. My wife could live with that.
Now, lets say you want a Staintune slip on for your CB 1100 and it's $700. You buy it, run it for a couple years, and when you are ready to sell the bike, you remove the Staintune and sell it to someone on the forum for $350 (the going rate of used stuff online is approx 50% of new price). So in effect the pipe only cost you $350 which is a very reasonable price for a slip on.
Of course this only works if you are buying motorcycles used or selling your CB 1100 eventually.
