$200 Walmart downpipes?????
Someone has to try these out for science right? Not me though.
I anticipate cracked welds.

If you try these, let us know how they are! I wouldn't mind trying a set if it's legit and not a scam.
A little edit here for all these high and mighty big spenders! A lot of people buy that Chinese garbage (and make no mistake, that's what it is) and do ok because they have the foresight as well as the capability to re-weld it where it fails before you install it. It's not an uncommon thing at all. So if you have the capability to do that, and I'm guessing most here don't, $200 isn't bad even if you just got the materials. If you don't agree with the inquisitive nature about the possibility of less expensive alternatives that's fine but there's no need to be an *** about it but then why am I surprised? I'm just an old school Supra guy!

No lol I don't know why you are even asking that question, do you drive a honda or something? Cheap sh*t are always bad quality, means cheap quality and no time/effort was put into it. No one is going to stop you from being cheap though, just don't be surprised when you spent $400+ parts & labor and it cracks. I would just get yourself a RedStar Downpipe for like $800 + ~$200 for labor, and you wont have to worry about it cracking. I've had RedStar for over a year with pops & burbles, no issues.

Also, paying for labor? Psh. Who does THAT?!
