And I would be more careful about statements of high standard of quality that both brands are known for meeting. Cough cough. I ordered some factory exhaust parts lately and I wouldn't really say that the quality was high enough. They even accepted to replace the part with a new one, but even after searching their warehouse in Japan for a better quality product they didn't really met the expectation of high quality! I don't really want to start posting pictures of what I received and what they proposed to me as an alternative, but it is really a shame of where both companies are heading lately and in fact consumers have no idea about it. A customer will never take apart a new car's exhaust to check what is inside and especially on material before the catalyst that could cause loss of power or even significant damage.
These are some pretty heavy accusations without any proof. Not sure what you expected from a massed produced exhaust component or what you received but it was no doubt well within the specs and normal for any level of "quality".
