Good spot! It is probably a reject after it went through the quality control phase. The worrying bit is, I did not spot it! Others may have been unaware of it as well and would have made a bid on it.

Spose you could cut off the old ones on you rusty exhaust and weld them on to the new one.........

Anyway the one I got off Ricambio seems much much better quality.


Now there is another from the same seller using the same pic!

On your new exhaust, try changing the exhaust end to a bigger diameter stainless steel pipe. I can't wait for my existing exhaust to go.

I was thinking of replacing the exhaust pipe end to stainless steel (with a larger diameter) of something similar. Perhaps the pipe do not need to be stainless steel but the pipe should be larger in diameter relative to the existing one which looks puny. Pete126 did something similar to his and it looks great. Check out the website below.
