Our frontpipe is 304SS, fully TIG welded, and uses Magnaflow cats as well.

It also has a nice grained finish.

If I were to answer the OP several months ago, I would have said Perrin. Reason? I got the Perrin O/P, F/P, and resonated exhaust combo and it sounds superb!

The Berk front pipe is very nicely tig welded!

Not sure what Perrin uses.
Thanks....that's good to know. Initially I thought maybe Berk use lower quality cats hence why they're cheaper than other catted front pipes. Also good to know they're made in USA as well. Win!!

I can't speak for anything but Perrin, but their parts fit perfectly without any fuss. I ran the 2.5" catted front pipe with stock everything else for a few weeks, and installed the 2.5" resonated cat back last weekend. Other than shearing off the bolt in one of the v-band clamps (not Perrin's fault at all, I was using an air ratchet and not paying attention to how tight it was) the install was easier than described.

Why did you stop selling the catted front pipe? I would buy one.
