Default Generic X-Pipe

Couldn't find a option to delete this thread, I went through the sellers feedback, however awesome his feedback is, the first negative one I checked was for this item lol, said turned into a 2 day custom install.

I ordered a Pypes O/R-H for extremely cheap, so cheap the buyer actually refunded my money and asked if I really wanted it, it would be $50 more, not the way I want to conduct business. I was looking through e-bays stuff and came acorss this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Exhau...01642066QQrdZ1
Most X-Pipes I see are 2.5 all the way through they say? Is this pipe too good to be true, I know they usually are, but looks nice

It looks like a good buy to me. Its stainless steel and mandrel bent, which are a plus, so yeah I would buy it if you wanted it.

If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is. Go with Brands you have heard of before.

Those type of welds usually go into the tube and restrict flow. I would stay away from that type of welds.

It has 4 bungs and we only have three....so welding is required!

I it is a X section and the pipes welded in the connection. At that price I wont expect 4 good welds, chances are more than 1 will be sloppy vs 1 weld on most x pipes.
