I have had them on my car for 5000 miles now and have not had any problem with them. I think the negative feedback your getting is wrong and I would contact a company that sells them if you any have concerns. One company that sell them on this board is Forged Performance (www.forgedperformance.com). Hope this helps.

Question

How do test pipes mess up a motor, and cause the seals to leak?

I just recieved mine in the mail and there was not any new mounting hardware. Are the stock bolts reused?

The main problem w/ cheaper TP's is not that these mess the engine up, it's that the welds are known to break...since changing TP's is more time involved, and a good set (i.e. AAM, Strup, Nismo...) is usually not much more $$, ppl always rec'd that you just buy a good one to begin with.

Only other issue would be fitment, but since it sounds like you got them installed, the fitment should be decent.

*TP's do require non-foulers or some other method to trick the ECU - but that's irregardless of the company that makes them.
