Default Things are expensive

Maybe it's just me as I've kinda been away from the Cherokee/Jeep sence for a while, but it looks like a lot of things got way more expensive when it comes to parts for my XJ. I just received my new 4Wheel Drive Hardware catalog and I must say, their prices are nothing to be proud of. But I suppose this is the way of the world today. Anyone else agree that things have gotten out of hand?

Take for instance, a MagnaFlow exhaust for $500, add a cat for $132, and a header for $575, still not have a downpipe from the header to the cat and you're at over $1200. For a couple hundred more you can buy a whole engine.

I can't seem to find anything that looks like a good deal to me in this catalog.

Is that stuff made of gold?
I'd dump that magazine subscription.

Seems a little expensive. Must be all stainless steel? Vendor forum has exhaust muffler and tailpipe for $105.

noticed that too. my last 4wd mag was fer WRONGLERS. i specifically wanted cherokee, but wow. seems like one has to sell the jeep in order just to get parts anymore. the jy round here decided to scrap and crush every rig they get, so i cant even go that route.
