Mine showed up today. Impressions?

Price
- $380 shipped to So Cal, took 3 biz days to get to me.
Packaging - Sux, just a plastic bag
Extras - Includes gaskets and bolts, nice.
Design - VERY similar to the RevWorks or OFH UELs.
Materials - Solid as far as I can tell. Passes the magnet test (even though I know this really doesn't mean much).
Welds - IMO good for this price point, but see for yourself.
Collector - Won't win any beauty contests, but also won't cost more than a couple HP. For the savings, I can make that up easily.

Will bolt it up this weekend. Ok, so let's see how long it lasts. I promise, if it breaks, I'll post about it. In the meanwhile, here are the shitty mobile phone pics.

It's not much worse looking than other collectors. The borla header looks just as bad if not worse and has proven gains.

Thanks for all the pics. It looks like it's worth the money if you ask me. For those of us that aren't building race cars it will be fine.

Pulled off the skid plate to make sure everything was tight. All still good, color looks good after a couple weeks of heat cycles. No leaks. I will be getting a different overpipe and front pipe soon, I'll check back with results after that.

If you're getting cheap knock offs you're doing it wrong with the over pipe lol Manzo's is $59 instead of $190
