the pic isn't close enough to tell how they really look. Unless you are referring to the discoloration of the metal. That's just a natural thing that happens when you have high heat to metal. Lance @ SLC would know for sure though.

seems like a decent price. Might give Lance a call though.

Welds can be decieving aswell, T-dubs weld looked great, but the metal he used was inferior and lead to failure.

There's never any pain for you, you could sit on a road cone and smile.

But, atleast you'd finally have a trumpet style exhaust like barkers :rofl:
