Message Alright,
I have nothing to gain here because we can't compete or sell for those E-bay prices. But soley in the interest of the consumer, I keep seeing a lot of noise with little to back it up.

Who has had a set of these that didn't fit? Because I have seen literally hundereds of them that fit fine.

Who has seen a set that have failed? Because I have never seen a set that have and I know that they aren't going to.
The welding on the outside edges of the flanges is very strong and has since been copied by their predecessors.

Who really thinks they are going to make noticeably less power with these than the just slightly larger ones or any style of split downpipes? They are on average 1 tenth of an inch difference in diameter. I've done lots of dyno testing with all kinds and there aren't any evident differences. Which is no surprise to me.

Why do people seem to continue to recommend products soley based on the fact that a more expensive product is always the way to go because it might be 5% better, but cost 200% more? Diminishing returns, it just isn't rational thinking for the average consumer. Maybe if you are building some super car on an unlimited budget, but most people just want an extra 100-200 hp for the best price possible.
