Yes, typically the europeans are only interested in sound and performance and not looks when it comes to their exhaust systems. It's also sort of a catch 22 because a high polished system with grinded down welding can also make the customer think its a cheap system that's poorly made. We offer life time warranties on all the exhausts we sell so buyers can purchase with confidence.
too checkered flag-ish

Of course they would disagree, they are competitors of Supersprint. To be honest I've seen welding that looks good but is not strong and very week, and I've seen welding that isn't very pleasing to the eye but last over a decade. What I'm trying to get at is that terrible welds can always be made to look good but in the end will eventually fail and great welding can also look terrible and last a lifetime and at the end of the day neither of which is visible once installed on the car and for all we know these could be the first prototypes to be made. If you look on their website some of their welds look ten times better than what they do in this picture above.

MBWorld Fanatic!
I prefer the Wider FAB version of the SLS, its less "busy" than the Hamann kit:

Its less busy but requires 3 times the work and probably just another one of kit someone has made thats not going to put into production. I would like to see what the parts look like prior to installation because it looks like you need to cut the factory fenders and merge new extensions on where as the Hamann kit is a much easier and cleaner install. And its TUV approved.
