"Interesting... But not accurate. You are trying to have people believe this is an "apples to apples" comparison of products. It is not. Your down-pipes are not similar but for the fact they replace the stock down-pipe using factory flanges.

You say the largest difference is the price? Not even close. You are advertising 100% 304 stainless, yet the ceramic core converter you offer is made of 409 stainless (high carbon steel content and will rust). The 304 stainless tubing you use does not show any production numbers or tubing manufacturer. It appears you are using Chinese made 304 stainless instead of "Rath Gibson" tubing which is made in America. We have tried Chinese 304 stainless ourselves and it is lower quality. It is slightly magnetic which reflects the high carbon steel content, it bends easier (also reflects the higher carbon steel content). It costs less but in my opinion the lack of quality wasn't worth the compromise. The flex coupler you use is longer and is being angle welded. This allows you to rely on the flex coupler to replace the first bend in the tube, instead of taking the time to duplicate the factory bends and rotation. Your "angled O2 bung" is not similar in any way to ours or Hahns. You are simply bending a piece of tubing and welding it on. With all of these differences, of course you can sell your down-pipes for less. Not to mention the $30.00 minimum profit you make on customers stock catalytic converters when they return them to you.

Customers are better off recycling the cat converters themselves. They can get $80.00 to $120.00 depending on the time of year.

So, for a limited time only, to show everyone our appreciation and our commitment to the absolute highest quality, we are happy to match ZZP pricing on stainless down-pipes.

But, for the same price you get the following:
100% 304 stainless tubing; Rath Gibson brand , made in America.
Mandrel bent tubing which duplicates the factory design perfectly, no short cuts using the flex coupler to replace a bend.
Correctly designed and fabricated O2 sensor chamber.
Superior flowing and constructed metallic core substrate converters using 100% 304 stainless, not ceramic core converters using inferior 409 stainless steel.
Heck, we'll even work with our customers to get them the best price for their used, stock converters.
