I just got this catback today, the material and welds
are very good, but the finish seems to be lacking.
the catback has great potential, but
the clamp marks, scratches and little dings here and there
make it look half ass. It looks very high quality, until you
examine it up close. If I were very picky
I would send this exhaust back, but I can live with it. I only
paid $300 for on clearance. Box was factory sealed.
I have bought tanabe, hks and apexi exhaust and have been very impressed.

Perhaps I got a factory second???

Also the tip is oval, not round due to a crease made in manufacturing on the right side of the tip,
very strange...

The skunk2 exhaust was very well package, better
then any other company, plenty of bubble wrap everywhere.

BTW does it come with instructions or decals? I didn't get
any stickers or what not with it.

 

Check out ebay, that is just the way they come!
You can see actual photos of brand new skunk2
exhausts.
I didn't get any instructions or stickers in the
box.
hope that helps.

 

I can't agree with you more.
