Aren't those mufflers and headers made "in Taiwan"? For sure not made in China as I've been looking/asking everyone here and everybody in the business tells me they are from Taiwan. They in indeed the best given their low cost!

Taiwan=China, it's complicated....

And yeah, all things cheap are made in Asia....maybe it's all "China" for an American :P....doesn't necessarily mean it's poor quality though.

Ahhhh ASIA!!! Yea man that’s right! Where stuff can be bought MINUS the GOV (local, state & national)’s high taxes, VAT, Dept of Transport, pattern fees, trademark cost, overpriced manufacturing equipment and rent, high electricity and other energy bills, lazy & union-backed staff, company & resources‘ apocalyptic insurance policies, trendy sales & marketing cost, exorbitant packaging & shipping cost…. Not to mention that most metals are governed in the west (stocks, shares, etc…). Did I missed any?!

No **************** eh… if any ever wondered why we are being charge in the 4 digits price range anywhere else for those little, in fact techno-less, mufflers

Got the same ones. And their headers. All excellent quality. Welds are professional.

Light as hell, though so might not last forever but at that price, who cares.
