Let's say you bought these ebay test pipes and got them installed (if you can find a shop that will remove cats for you) and one of the welds cracked, you could always bring it back to the exhaust shop and they should be able to fix the crack for like $50 tops. This would be the same for any of the more expensive pipes as well.
Yep. Exactly.

On that note, wasn't someone on here recently very unhappy with the welds on their $1200 exhaust system? I thought it was an Ark CBE, but I could be wrong...

Nope.

To the OP, it's a set of two single pieces of steel pipe with two flanges. If it looks dodgy send it back, but my guess is it will be just fine.

The only "issue" with mine was that, inexplicably, the bolts they sent with it were too short and I had to take a run to the hardware store. Otherwise, no issues.
