Competing for rejects. That's cute.

Another option? Volvo? Outside of dealer supplied parts, off the cuff I'd say 2 of every 3 Starla/Bosal/A&B headpipes I've bought were at least assembled correctly. A&B doesn't count because I only bought 2 of them, and one was a return. I'm not happy looking at the surviving A&B that has rusted through again (from the outside) after (let me check) not quite 7 years.

One thing I will do when I replace it, is waste a half a can of high-temp paint on it before bolting it up. I did that on a short-trip train-station car three years ago, and am pleasantly surprised at how that coating is holding up.
