most honda prices are reasonable in japan for new parts
while 2nd hand parts are pretty cheap
honda parts been over price are cause by a few factors shipping cost, taxes, and business mark ups to make a profit
causes the prices to be inflated
and demand to a certain degree
if you think it is a rip off dont buy it
easy as that

yeah...what really annoys me is that a good used turbocharger, with upgraded turbines costs about $1000, which is the same as a mugen pipe or pod in a box.
A turbo would've required so much more research, engineering and manufacturing vs a pipe bent to fit the underbody of the car....and the gains are more too...
as for catbacks being "tuned' to provide performance..... i don't believe that at all. I genuinely think a mandrel bent, stainless steel custom catback will be 99% similar to a mugen at 30% of the price...
but ah well
