Default True duals on ebay??

What do you guys think of this exhaust? If I have it welded do you think it would be worth it?

Just have a setup custom made, should be better quality, and you can use whatever mufflers you want. (Assuming you want to use mufflers)

I noticed the same setup in black yesterday and wondered. I read the feedback and a lot say slow shipping and sloppy welds. I'll look some more.

Ummmmm....to use the word junk would be an insult to the word junk. I made the terrible mistake of trying to save some dough and ordered a kit. All it consists of is a Jeg's x-pipe and $10 glasspacks. They claim to use Dynomax bullets. Bullshit!! I know a cheap glasspack when I see it. Also, they don't show the headpipes in the pictures close up. There is a reason for that. They aren't even bent, they are cut on slight angles with a chop saw and rotated to get a bend, then welded VERY poorly. I could do better with a car battery and a coat hanger. All welds (if you can call them welds) are the absolute worst I have ever seen; holes, tons of spatter, etc. Do yourself a favor and STEER CLEAR!!! The guy is also a jackass, won't refund money at all, I had to open a dispute on ebay, then escalate it to a buyer protection claim. All in all, I'm out $264 with shipping, if I get any money back from ebay it's capped at $175 and I have to get a copy of the cashed money order and I'm supposed to have the system appraised. Worst deal ever!!

P.S. The so-called high temp coating is what we know as "spray paint"
