As an example, Stainless Works will sell an exhaust system for the new Corvette Z06 including LT headers for under $3000.

Just going to the GAP in Paris to buy a pair of Jeans will cost you 50 euros while the same pair of jeans in the US will be half the price. Location and target population.
Agreed, they still do over charge. Although you can be sure there are a ton more of the same system sold for a Corvette or Mustang then there are for a M3 so there is economies of scale involved. But yea, I most agree, the vendors are highly aware of their target market and what they will/can pay.
