Joining the 4-4 club
#26
As mentioned- to keep the center stand and have him accommodate the larger O2 bungs- I am happy.

That being said, people should understand what they are getting.

I have not seen a Moriwaki exhaust in real life, but I am sure the build quality is excellent. The staintune muffler and arrow header I have are excellent.

I have owned a LOT of custom exhausts, intake manifolds, suspension components on many bikes, cars, quads, jet ski, turbo kits, etc.

Here are examples of quality welds-

What this guy does is quick ‘tooth paste’ welds of questionable quality and then took a grinder to them before chroming to make it look a little less sloppy.

Also the bends are not mandrel, so you can clearly see the creasing.

Will it work? Sure. Does it look poorly done- yes, to anyone who knows what they are looking at.

Are the welds as strong, or will last as long? Doubtful.

There are a couple spots I wonder if he even got a complete weld. Who knows if the temperature was correct- and as I said earlier, I very much doubt he purged the pipes.

As a few years pass- the welds could crack, the joints can rust. Especially the seams... just like the old
mufflers in the 70’s.

They will still look and sound cool- just use these pictures as reference to know what you are buying-
