RE: BBK
there isn't any welding on that, is there? my control arms look weird, and so did my xpipe when I put it in. I guess they look like they will work, there's no cracks or anything in the welds, but the welds are all lumpy and uneven. I know a good welder usually has fairly even seams.

RE: BBK
I was curious if it was only the parts that I bought that looked retarded or if it's the norm.
or maybe I know too much for my own good. compare the welds on a BBK control arm to the welds on a good bike frame or a borla cat back and you can tell which one had more care put into it right away.

RE: BBK
my xpipe was a bitch to get in - none of the o2 sensors would reach to the holes unless I removed all the mounting points for the wire harnesses and pulled them closer to the mounting holes. I've got like 5 tie wraps and black electrical tape preventing the wires from hitting the cats and melting and ****. [:@]
what are those hangar things on the hpipe? I don't think my xpipe had anything like that.

RE: BBK
Haha EXACTLY what I was thinking when I was going to get my X-pipe. I just hated how it looked like it was welded by a 3rd grader and that stupid, I guess support chamber in the middle there.
I have BBK LT's and they are GREAT, but I went with the VRS o/r X instead of the BBK X due to the fact that it looked like it was going to fall apart, and I heard VRS sounds much better, which it does indeed.
