That's the point of them, they are supposed to work. If this exhaust system was chrome dipped, you wouldn't ever know. What's actually amusing is the vibrant resonators that were chrome dipped, the welds that came on them looked worse than ours.

Why would we not take close up pictures? To trick people? We want to show what we are capable of doing, if it is not up to your standards that's fully understandable. Thanks.

Is that really mounted to touch the bumper?

I can't really make fun of your welds. It looks just like mine.

Dimension 210? Looks just like mine. I hope you have had better luck with yours though, mine has been to Miller twice for transformer repairs in six months.


and looks good.

Exhaust work looks sick. Dan has definitely stepped his game up. I dont know what people expect, robotic looking welds on places never seen?


Ive been to 4-5 different exhaust shops, and never had welds look that good. He isnt selling $1,500 robotic welded exhausts, he is selling in-house, affordable shit. Yah, it has its very minor inconsistencies(most common folk would never even be able to tell), but the pricing of his exhaust work reflects that. If someone wants a perfect exhaust, with crazy baller welds, go spend $1,500-2k on a exhaust system.

for trying out new metals for exhausts, I cant wait to get mine done
