The Tomei exhaust below is ONE sheet of titanium with flat tip, thus you will not find any welding edges and cannot be used to compare at all.

I buy most of that explanation, except for the slant cut Greddy tip you seemed to have missed. Believe me, if the finish was as well crafted as the GReddy tip, I'd be all over the Milltek w/o a second thought. As it is, the less than perfect welding seems to coincide w/ the bubble blisters ghosted in the heat treated finish on the edges and some stories about leaking gaskets. I think it's a great product but some people like myself would like to see a little more attention to detail at a certain price point. I don't have a problem with the process, I have a problem w/ the semi-DIY finish/craftsmanship which is more than evident on the Ti tips on inspection.
