Default Uppipe Question

Whats this uppipe like? I know its cheap but cant see why it would be crap unlss someone has had one and its gone wrong in some way. Iv used an HKS and it blows iv been told by a few tuners the Flex Uppipes are better as the have allot more movement to put up with heat expansion. A double slip joint is good but sometimes still dont expand enough which causes the leaks at certain temps.

I haven't the time to wait for a Grimmespeed so thougt this mite be ok? Iv also heard of the Flex colapsing but want to know some other peoples views before i go fo something different.

Cheers for any help in advance.

I have a mesh on my up pipe to allow for movement. It's been on for 50000 miles with no problems. Made by xs performance. Did make a difference on my version 8 blob eye, because it removes a cat. Apparently there is no cat on a version 6 or earlier. So they are not worth changing on earlier models, unless you are replacing them with a larger bore pipe.
