I'll just wait, there's going to be a few coming down the pipe.....

I am not aware of any issues but as I have been reading there seams to be an issue. We can't please everyone but when there are more and a few concerns then I agree there is a problem. I can tell you that one of my job descriptions is CS and QC and I can assure you I will do my best to address any of your concerns. You all have my email and I would like to hear any feedback you may have positive or negative, how else can we improve if don't hear the bad and the good.

I addressed the mandrel bending on a previous post and again we can do it its costs more but we can if requested. As mentioned there will be surface discoloration/rust but it will not penetrate the metal. Did it rust right through or did it change color? I don't know what was used before but as mentioned the piping is 409 stainless and the mufflers are 304.
