Just done the sums here,landed in Oz nearly $A200 less than the expensive option......
I've heard of flanges being welded degrees out etc on other cheaper brands,be nice to have a few recco's for this one..

Be the first. To me it looks like a home made 3" test pipe with a 3" catalytic welded together. Others do the same but may use different materials or higher flow rate cats, better welding, fit and finishes and of course brand name will always play a factor. Some go out of their ways to actually prove out their product further than others which equate out to engineering time/money. JHM, to my knowledge, has the largest pipe input /output compared to the rest which "can" equate to better flow capabilities depending on your setup/engine. I've also heard less people having CEL'S issues with JHM. But I haven't personally tallied that up.

My advice is to go with what you can afford and would need for YOU setup and future upgrades. Your emissions might be stricter in your area versus somebody else's so just a few more thing to factor in.

Thanks Sj,thats good input- I took the plunge ordered it and I'm comfortable ,its about $200 cheaper than the most expensive alternative and $100 nearest the next.That's even figuring in a 90 deg and a straight o2 sensor spacer which gives me lots of options for a potential Cel problem.It looks more like a generic cat but thats okay,I only need to get a short life out of it,then the OEM's going back in,Yeah,I'll take the chance with my puny $A's and report back here when I have it installed..............
