BNR DOWN PIPE WELDS

JUST GOT EM TODAY, ARE THESE WELDS GONNA HOLD UP?

Mine was a single pipe with the flanges welded on and a nice piece of work. Having said that, no reason yours shouldn’t do just fine. Yours might be from the end of a run where they had to weld some leftover pieces together or some such. That pipe isn’t cheap and I suspect they try and use every bit of it. The weld looks good and nobody will see it anyway. As an aside, as long as I had the maneuvering room, I went and wrapped my exhaust all the way to where it emerges from the bath tub hoping to cool my feet down in summer. Prob won’t know for sure for a couple months. For those concerned re cold feet, I don’t use the near-worthless (above about 10-15 mph) heater so I shut the vents and heat my feet through a hole I cut in the bottom of the heater plenum.

I have seen another company making these down pipes, name starts with a Z, priced a bit cheaper

I have seen others, too. They did not, to my untrained eye, look as substantial in the pics for what that’s worth. Who knows, thin pipe, questionable welds, crooked flanges, etc.  BNR did such a superb job on the their tune, though, I figured I couldn’t go wrong. Customer loyalty and all that. I started taking mine apart as soon a I got a shipping confirmation and would have been mildly disappointed to have gotten 4est’s two-piece but would have shrugged and installed it anyway. I’d wager his wrestled in just fine and will outlast his motor.
