most of their sales probably aren't from the DP's. i'm sure they sell a bunch of other stuff. and i noticed that people leave feedbacks like the day they receive the merchandise or the day they install it. you don't really have a chance to leave a feedback for a product over long time usage.

they are like $189 now I think. This must mean the quality of the pipes degraded by $10 suddenly.

I will not comment one way or the other, this should be fun to watch though...

Next steps for me are:

1. Dyno in stock form.

2. Add JB3 and dyno.

3. Install downpipes/fix and dyno with stock map. (will photograph/document install)

4. Dyno with JB3 map.

We will see how it goes...



























Cue the questions and additional picture requests.

Wish I knew more about welds... although the overall construction seems decent, especially at the sub $200 range.

wow, they "look" really good! can't wait to see how well the fitment and dyno results are. if they work out well and produce similar hp or even just slightly less hp than their competitors, i'd still say it's totally worth it.

Not true. 200 and 300 series stainless steels are austenitic, and therefore are not magnetic. 400 series stainless is.
200 series does not have the corrosion resistance that 300 series does, due to lower chromium content and higher impurity levels, however it is better that the standard exhaust system stainless that most auto manufacturers use, which is 409 I believe.

ill give my opinion...

since we are talking about 200 compared to 560 bux or 700 bux and not 2000 dollars compared to 7000 dollars.

When it comes to this kind of price range you do it once and do it right, you go with companies reputation and quality, not just buy it to say i have dps.

I would buy the ar design since its 700 bux and amazing quality and sleep better at night, instead of testing something out with absolutely no customer service or a company behind your back.

my take: for a 50+k car, if 500 bux is going to break your wallet/ trying to save money, you are definately in the wrong car.

just my 2 cents.

I get so tired of this reasoning, and it makes absolutely no sense. I buy products that give me what I want at a value that is acceptable to me, regardless of how much the car costs.

this is a stupid statement... just cause some of us drive 50+k cars doesnt mean we dont try to save money where we can... i hate useless comments like these.

there is a company btw... with 99% feedback. stop talking because you obviously do not know what you are talking about.

EDIT: and wtf is up with putting your diet/weight plans in your sig... lmfao
