The welds are good, and the entire exterior of the mufflers is actually very clean. The only dissapointing physical appearance is the inner rim of the tips. It is sort of a "brushed" look for some reason. Not terrible, but just different than the rest of it.
Definitely worth it for the price imo...mainly because of the sound...

+100 for that, I saw the inner lip of the tips also but how is going to be looking inside the tip, LOL.. The Top Speed stamp looks pretty good also..

I don't have a problem with saving money. I'm a freak when it comes to getting things at the lowest price. My post was about "cheap things" or low quality. Why get knock offs in a car like this? Go for the real thing. Do your research and find the best price. If you can afford this car, obviously you can afford a real upgrade. Knock off exhaust systems are for Honda Civics.

Granted we don't have a longevity test on the quality, but it looks fairly well made, and until there is a negative about this set, I say save your money and go for it.

I think statements like this are ridiculous. Really? Just because you have the money to have nice things doesn't mean you need to waste it either. I'm all about buying quality things, but when it comes to an exhaust, it's pretty much all the same metal, tubing, and baffles. Yes, sometimes there's a variance as far as stainless, etc. but if the "name brand" and the "knock off" are similar, why not the knock off? Usually the "name brand" cost so much because of the R&D, but if once it comes out and the "knock off" copies it, then paying for the "name brand" sounds like a wast of money. If it gives the same performance and a quality sound, then why not?
