I think you can find plenty of examples where something that cost more doesnt do better than the cheaper ones and Im not just talking car products but all products. More money doesnt always mean better.

Mass produced? What are you talking about? The products are made overseas the same way they are made here: a human being holding a welder. Or are you arguing that ERZ has a factory full of automated robots? Or maybe there is a huge benefit by having one welder just for the triple bolt flange and another for the Y-pipe side? Separation of responsibilities leads to a narrower, but more efficient work process? Right...
Quality construction matters to most people, even if it doesn't have a functional impact. No one is saying that for $300 you don't get a functional product, but why are you trying to say that it is just as good as the $500 products? It's not. At that price point you don't have pitted and warped flanges, misaligned bolt holes for the cross support, and crooked welds.
