inspect the welds. had the mounting bracket separate from the pipe and the header lip fell off. It was held on by two opposing tack welds.
The pipe itself sat in my garage alongside a boss and proma... within a month, the weakends pipe was covered in surface rust.
Weakends did offer to fix it if i were to pay for shipping both ways and wait a few weeks.
I ended up chopping the header and welding a new one on. The bracket was also easily patched. Cleaned off the rust and repainted with high temp BBQ paint.
not super impressed... for the price, but I hear great things about the new generation of pipes they are making. I believe I have a first gen pipe. Im not sure what gauge the cones are, but they the estoril is easily twice as thick. A thicker gauge could probably reduce the pipe's proma-like sound qualities.
other than that, it rips and takes a dr kit, carbon reeds, notched var and 19 phbg to mid 50's. this pipe enjoys the malossi blue springs.

New header for the poeple!!!! No more files to dull and broken cut-off wheels to bolt up this newly designed, fully TIG welded, hand-made pipe.
DR kits no longer need to worry.
Bolt up and rip!!
Features a maintenance-free silencer, filled with stainless steel packing material that will outlast your rusty moped!
P.S. The old pics no longer do this pipe any justice. Nothing but beautiful welds for our stuff. The hobos have finally stepped up :)

This pipe has amazing midrange, but has some problems too.
1. There is a huge dead spot when paired with a DR right before the pipe hits.
2. The exhaust flange is weak. It will bend when you torque it down and can cause air leaks as it loses it grip on the cylinder.
3. The header is HUUUGE. You will have to grind out either your cylinder's exhaust port or grind down the header to make it fit the cylinder. This also causes problems on at least the DR kit and maybe others where the mating surface isn't large enough for a complete seal. You will possibly have to add material to the kit and will definitely want to use a different crush gasket as the ones sold on here are too small and will restrict the pipe and won't make a good seal.
Outside of those issues, this is a great pipe and will let you dust your average hobbit setup.

It needed some Dremeling (DR kit) and repainting but this pipe hits fairly early and keeps hitting forever!
