i was pleasantly surprised at the weld q
first thing i looked at was the welds. quality stacked dimes. no holes.
already installed… collectors looked very good, cones were nice and straight. I have another set of maximizers being delivered today. i will measure and take more pictures for you to try to find something to nit pick. But in all seriousness, at this price they have to be taking a loss. perhaps they are liquidating inventory? I cut out my mbrp h pipe from their street kit and inserted a magnaflow resonated x pipe. cold start and idle quieter than before the long tubes. Zero rasp. Sounds more like a ferrari than a mustang now. Butt dyno says pretty significant increase in power paired with the whipple.
heh, that's fair. To me there is only 1 correct way to do collectors and that's with fish-mouth cuts, or if you're gonna butt-joint it, a plate just like at the engine block end.
I have never seen fish mouth or flanged collectors for s550. Most companies are using spiked collectors in their long tube designs. i cant think how one could finagle a spike in the collector with a fish mouth cut.
just because nobody does it correctly, doesn't mean that it's ok.

monkeys peel bananas from the wrong end, doesn't make them right.
either way $200 is a crazy price for what looks like at least half-way decent product.
OK, let’s have an explanation on “autogenous”. I am all ears.
Deifintely not autogenous, lol. 2 sets for $500 ill take my chances and keep the $1000+ savings in my pocket. I can weld, so repairs are not an issue. Guess people in this place dont like good deals. I will risk it for the biscuit.
we've seen "good deals" from Alibaba, Temu and the like. Once your fingers get sliced or burned, one is more cautious about such things. If you can do your own welding, that removes almost all of the risk. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a dozen guys on this forum who can weld.
. No filler rod. fused pieces
Just throwing in my $0.02 here, I have to agree with Shogun32 here. I know people who have welding equipment ( gas and arc, tig, and mig) and I know people who can weld. I certainly am no expert or even apprentice welder, but you don’t have to be to recognize work that is done expertly.
