Should be fine, but it might corrode within a couple years. You could get it ceramic coated to help.

*edit*
I think it is ceramic coated. If you notice at the bottom it says it is steel with black high temp coating, NOT polished like the pic.

ALSO, THE WELDING IS FULLY TIG-WELDING. PLUS, THEY HAVE GONE OVER EVERY WELD AND RE WELDED IT TO BE SURE IT WILL NEVER, NEVER BREAK.

You will be getting the Downpipe in MILD STEEL and it will have a BLACK Heat Temp Coating.

Pipe Material : Full 3" Mild Steel with High Temp Heat Coating

Bends : MANDREL BENDS Only

Welding : ROBOTIC TIG-WELDING

Warranty : 2 Year Warranty

sounds like it should be ok... but what do u all think?
or should he go with a "famous brand name" and spend more money

Think you should be fine, hes got good feedback and I just ordered a TurboXs H34 BOV from him and he sent me a tracking # right away.
Seems like an upfront honest guy. Plus its a good price.

Is that a neck down right by where it connects to the cat? If it is it is probably to connect to a stock cat and you will want to get rid of that.

it says on the description that it replaces the stock CAT.

does the pic show otherwise?

 

[OMN_DSM]

No, but there is a slight neck down there that won't help flow any. Do you know what it it made to bolt up to?

Mike

 

[CL MaNTis GST]

i believe its meant to bolt up to the catback exhaust no?

thats what it looks like... like it will go from the o2 housing back to your exhaust. it says on there that it eliminates the cat.

 

[OMN_DSM]

Yeah I got that but I meant does it bolt up to stock exaust, after market, or what. But either way it is worth it and if need be you could go to any little muffler shop and have them put any flange on it that you want. So no matter what the issue it is still a pretty good deal.

it says either stock or aftermarket on the page
