LongTran is good as well and he is less than 999999 hours away.

But seriously, +1 on Alex and Matt.

And +1 on the VKs fitment being ugh; after seeing the AR's fitment, these really are crap compared to them. (I thought they were decent before I compared haha)

Yea I don't know why everyone hates their fitment. I had worse times fitting a batch of UR pipes and RR pipes.

The VKs fit perfectly....who knows maybe I got a good set :shrugs:

the turbo flange on the dp is larger then the flange on the turbo, so the clamp doesnt like to close all the way, the bolts for the exhaust have too large of a head to fit a socket or wrench on properly, and the bolts shanks are the same size as the stock exhaust so its not only a pain to get them thru it, it bends some threads getting them thru. not to mention they are just made shitty inside and out

I guess it was a good set. These matched up perfectly and as far as the lower bolts, I had no issues lining them up. The supplied bolts didn't fit but I made up a set with some extra hardware I had and that was that...

Well the ones I put in were used, and were polished on the outside and the welds on the flanges were decent, and on the inside they really werent that bad and I know welding...like I said maybe I just happened to get a good set of pipes. If I did another set who knows those would prolly be really crappy lol...
