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-
