well guess what ? I got some plms in the mail too, shitty ebay quality and all. $200 shipped. Not worried about removing them IF they crack. Chances are nothing will happen.

Who cares what the welds look like as long they hold and the pipes fit it beats being a moron and paying 800+ for two pipes as for flow they seem to be working for clap just fine so save 600 dollars and get a meth kit, IMHO

+1, a weld is a weld, they will both hold the same, just the other brand(S) looks more " CLEAN " which nobody should care for as they are having the same performance gain as the $800+ Downpipes....

Yeah, since you know, looks aren't an indication of the quality of work put into the product.

+1
But i will add this caveat: If you're goals are just a FBO+tune car then im sure these pipes are fine, if upgraded turbos are a part of you're plan then i would go with a set of better flowing pipes just to get that every ounce of power out of the money spent.

I wasn't "coming back", I was just stating the obvious. Either way, I can't change you or Elie's mind because from your histories, you've always bought the product with the cheapest price. Which is completely fine, to each their own.

So you bought an HPF IC, Advan Rs', Procede, P3, and you're showing this guy how to cut costs? Well played sir/brotha'.

I like quality parts but I'm not stupid enough to buy into the hype, and trust I got most of the parts way below list, taking swipes at me still doesn't disprove anything I said I'm not cheap I just spend my money on what's important and whats REALLY the best so enjoy the money you lost maybe you will make it back playing cards slick, I'm done with this enjoy you the pipes some guy ripped you off for because they said it was the best

You got them BELOW list price?! NO WAY?! That's absolutely not possible on the forums. I can't trust you on this.

Which parts of our cars aren't important?

Side-note - Why didn't you just buy an Ebay IC, Ebay wheels, and Ebay gauge? They do the same thing, right?

We can do that? I'm about to part my car out.

I don't understand, what people don't understand about the difference in DP's.

Install a shit set, pay extra money for install and or bloody the hell out of your own knuckles, have them leak, have the welds give, have the o2 sensors need removing and adjusting, have them RATTLE every time you decel or crank the car... jeez, I'll pay another 300 and grab a name brand to avoid that headache.

Ask me how I know.

If I had a dollar for every story I have heard about saving money on parts and paying the cost 2x over in labor.... LOL

Riss racing dp's same as plm so I'm told
Welds looked great
Install in less than 3 hrs (it was my first time) easy install but v clamps suck ass.
And the sound......f**kin awesome!!!!!

Guess I got a good set $275 shipped new from a member here. He claims he was unable to have them installed due to poor fitment. His install guy must be a dipshit

Anyway good luck

AR's downpipes look like they were welded by a pro, while these look like they were welded by a bro. To each their own
