30 bucks...yeah right

I mean, as ghetto as it is, your still getting a good bit of pipe, a descent amount of welding, and two flanges that need to seal and fit. If I were making them I wouldn't take less than 100 bucks guaranteed....and I don't even know the true costs (like I said, I haven't made one). It could be more, but regardless of costs I definitely wouldnt take less than 100 bucks.

In the end, your getting the effectiveness of a top mount, the ability to make alot more power, for far less than you'd even pay for a log. 30 bucks is absolutely laughable though....not a chance in hell.

I think anything less than $100 shipped is fair.
