XPipe Center Section on Core Exchange?

As part of our new operation in Canada, we're looking at ways to rationalize product, reduce manufacturing costs and therefore cost to the consumer.

Our existing X-Pipes are made by purchasing an OEM Aston Martin Center Section and braising an X-Pipe into the middle of it. It's already stainless steel and already the diameter we want. We are looking at running off our own pieces in volume, but also considering a core exchange program.

Would be something like $400 returned to the customer upon receipt of their original AM center section provided it is in good, usable condition.

Would this be something you guys & girls would find appealing, or for the cost would you rather have a brand new part?

the $400 credit is a good idea. I consider it recycling.

That's what I figured, plus it's already stainless tube so why not get some value for it. But so far voting inconclusive!

We could include a return shipping label for the core part, easy peasy?
