I know that not all products can be perfect, and knowing the horror stories about hit and run companies jumping into the fray, this product does not disappoint. Considering that stainless was highly requesting from this manufacturer and that you could upgrade at no additional cost (when I purchased), I'd say this manufacturer has remained relevant in terms of value. I will say that there are two bolts that remain difficult to access for many DIY'ers. Due to the quick bend off the turbo (despite having plenty of compartment room to delay the bend) there was no access to the fastener with a common 16mm socket on a 3/8 extension and torque wrench. The other issue was on the first flange position. I could not slip the bolt through the eye at the bend so that I could use a socket on the nut side away from the bend. Being forced to use box-end wrenches and sockets is not a deal breaker, but makes you wish these nuances were addressed and the design improved upon after all these years in production. This could have been a trade-off for being able to slip in the pipe without dropping the Crossmember, but for those who wanting to avoid cutting up the OEM DP, we had to do that anyways.
The material quality and durability seem on par with it's price-point: above average. Wait time was as promised after purchasing: 1 month. This is way higher than other brands and I got it in weeks before the pandemic of 2020.
