So you think they are using some cheaper metal if it is that cheap for a mid pipe?

Guess I will have to ask if it is stainless, I will be even happier for $80 if it is... =)

if you live any where with salt on the roads get stainless. otherwise an alumized or black powder coat will be fine

yes at 80$ theyre just gonna cut whatever they have to remove then mig some thin 18 gauge mild steel pipe, gonna look like shit, might leak and gonna rust in no time

Stainless 304 is like 150 buck per 10 feet so let me doubt lol

I live in a suburban desert, Los Angeles, I think I will be fine on rust for 20 years at least.

Nah we get rain but very rarely...

So I got the mid pipe today for $80, he said it was carbonized steel...2.5in diameter...

Sounds really good at low RPMs and cruising but when I floor it and engage VTEC it has that rasp I really hate...you guys know...the bee in a soda sound.............

I guess the major difference besides flanges is that aftermarket mid pipes come with a resonator...
