I think you're looking at the wrong spot. Top right of the page under Odometer is the date (15 OCT 2008), 2007 is right next to the make of car and refers to the model year of the car. :thumbup:

Wow $1000 for 2 downpipes. Evo's are much cheaper to mod.

Evos have one downpipe that is much simpler, and they don't have two expensive high flow metal substrate cats.....

Not to bag on Evos - I used to have one and still miss it. Just saying, you really can't compare the two.

Since you asked...

1. Inconsistant bead pattern
2. Inconsistant bead width
3. Didn't wire brush color

I'm not saying the welds wont hold or anything of that sort. I'm not trying to badmouth your products or start a fight... The only reason I said anything is because with welding I do, looks matter along with strength.
