STI 05 AFTER MARKET DECAT DOWNPIPE LIP
Hi, purchased this aftermarket downpipe, looks very similar to the Hayward & Scott, but I'm not too sure about the build quality.
Where the wide neck has been joined to the 3" pipe, if you look at the inside there is quite a lip of the 3" pipe sticking out, I thought this would have been welded and smoothed for good flow characteristics?
It seems a little crude and rushed to be honest.
I did have a Hayward & Scott downpipe on my last sti but cannot remember if it had this same lip, can anyone shed some light as to whether this will effect performance and whether the H&S system has this lip.
Cheers in advance
This is the link to the item I purchased on ebay.

thought as much, smooth is a must.
I was told to get it welded on the inside and then ground down so its smoothe would this do the trick, I guess thats what they do with the H&S systems?
