| My SZ 2.5" SS couldn't possibly fit better, my test pipes the same. More than I can say for my JWT Genie H-pipes which I cannot eliminate a couple small exhaust leaks at the flanges no matter what I try. My MSP manifolds.....perfect. I had an exhaust leak upon initial installation at the head on the driverside rear port due to (installer error) me being timid about over torquing the shortened stud into the head. I went in there recently and got another half turn on it and its perfect, like stock.....which is how quality aftermarket parts should be. SeedyROM put it best as the "Wal-Mart-ization" of America. Too many people have gotten dumbed down and accept any piece of crap as "high quality" so long as the box says so.
If you think this is just how it is then you too are "Wal-Mart-ized". First thing I noticed here in Germany was how GD more expensive random household items were when I had to go buy a lot of them as we got settled in to our new home. To be honest I was pissed off when I saw the totals. Then after things settled down and we were settled in and I had time to reflect on the purchases and be more objective, I realized the reason stuff was more expensive was not solely due to the higher expenses and taxes involved in every step of production over here, but largely due to the fact that this stuff is rarely ever chinese, most of it is made in germany in fact, and it is of an appreciably higher quality design than what I was accustomed to buying in the US. I had been Wal-Mart-ized.
 "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every principle of our socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened.... I no longer need to run on the Socialist Party ticket because the Democrat Party has now adopted our platform."
--Norman Thomas, 1944 Socialist Party Presidential Candidate "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
--Winston Churchill
