Never used them but they look outstanding. 304 stainless, nice welds, thick flanges, looks to be a steal at $242.99. I am not a welder but I think TIG is the better quality type weld that will hold up to the heat cool cycles. I had my stockers welded with the better weld what ever it was and then powder coated. If I did not already have them I would go this route. Looks to be a great product and price to me.

They are hit and miss. Some have good luck, some are junk. Heres a topic on turbobuick on them.

I read that entire post. Nobody said they were junk or unhappy with there purchase. One guy said his crossover didn't fit until he replaced the motor mount. It was a good point to consider what downpipe you are running though. I run the THDP. Concors restoration type guys or collectors usually still have the small stock downpipe with the performance robbing sharp elbow. But many of these cars have had the downpipe upgraded.

We have a few sets here we have pulled off of Turbo regals. the TA knock offs the hole is about the size of your thumb for the opening. The ones on ebay you are looking at need a lot of fab work to fit with out leaking. Repair the factory units unless your putting out some serious HP.
