Ah nice, thanks for the tip and ill be sure to look into it.
I had two Pypes X-pipes crack on my car due to poor welding. If the can't get a simple part like that right, I sure wouldn't trust their headers on my car. I went with JBA, and have been 100% satisfied with the quality.

It seems like a lot of the members here have pypes products, but Torch, you are one of the first that I have heard say 'no more'. Over the years I have heard nothing but bad about their stuff, I was starting to think that has changed.

Besides the poor weld quality on the two X-Pipes, I had a kit where one of the over axle pipes was totally mis-bent and missed meeting the muffler's inlet by a good 4", and I had to go all the way to the president of the company to get help getting a replacement for that one, because it was "impossible" according to their service dept for them to produce a badly formed pipe. They even claimed that the retailer (a large name brand operation) must have stolen the Pypes midpipes out of the sealed box abd substituted inferior replacements .
I also had 2 of their stainless exhaust hangers where the rubber centers dry rotted and cracked in less than a year, while the existing three year old factory hangers were still just fine.
I know others that have had more positive experiences, but Pypes will never see another nickel of my money, I don't need to be wasting hard earned money on poor quality junk and causing myself headaches.
CA DMV requires a SMOG check/emissions test every two years, after a vehicle is 6 model years old. Our 2005 Mustangs should be coming up for testing next year.
