Typically anything they make will be of the cheapest quality with no regard for purpose

Test Pipes, Coilovers, you name it they make it but do so in the cheapest and least amount of R&D possible.

It's exactly what's wrong with the aftermarket industry nowadays, cheap knockoffs from China

Weird, because for sure Stillen cranks out products, their the first to make exhausts and everything... Their exhausts are KNOWN to knock the rear(maybe its more mid) crossmember, then they revised it... And I have the revised version, the welds are rusting and it still knocks...
And I must say, Stillen's customer service sucks... I say this from my own experience, recent and past...

My HFC's are fine, I have seen some pretty poor Megan welds on their TP's. I have never bought anything directly from Stillen but they have always been nice to me when I have talked to them directly.

When it comes to anything Megan I don't ever consider any of their products for my own vehicle (but that's just me and I've been called an "elitist" here before ) but by all means if you like it then that's all that matters.

Just let me know what the exhaust looks like after a year or two...

I've got Berk HFC's and Stillen G3's as well as a Stllen CBE which is rusting... After 2 months... I was even emailing the son of the owner about it, and he just stopped replying...
I don't care much for the FI exhaust, but from what I have heard, not just on the forum, but from other people, Tony is THE MAN when it comes to customer service
