To keep this thread current for future searches:
Just got them in today, holy crap are these things compact and light!! HUGE difference over the massive stock cans. Even with them being light, they feel VERY solid.
First impressions: Decent packaging, no damage during shipping. Quality looks good, nice welds with (what looks like) good penetration. Stainless looks nice, some little imperfections on blended areas, but you really gotta be looking. The seem where the rolled steel was joined could be a bit smoother - but that's on the underside of the cans. Intermediate pipe looks nice. Springs from can to intermediate pipe look good...we'll see how they hold up (they don't look like stainless, but they could be).
Few "bad" things that stick out right away: Hanger, it is just meh, not terrible but could be improved. It's stainless as well, all the holes in the strap are countersunk/chamfered and everything has a good edge-break on it, no burrs. But still, hanger is kinda...cheap feeling - though I am not totally sure how I would improve it.
Second issue - holy 'eff it is hard, neigh on impossibly tight, to get the intermediate to slip into the muffler/can. I think I am going to have to hit the edge of the pipe with some sandpaper to give it a chamfer so I can slip the cans on. Could use a little fit & finish on that interface.
Personal opinion time: I paid $208 shipped - even with the little nit picks and without knowing how they will hold up long-term - I am very happy with my purchase. I've always thought there is no good reason why motorcycle exhausts need to cost so much more than automotive exhausts for hos simple and small they are. These cans, to me, prove that. Install pics will come this weekend, video of them with the bike running will be shortly after that once I finish some other maintenance.
For now, take a look (ignore my grubby fingerprints on the cans):
(Weld on the bottom of the can, trick of the light makes it look worse than it is. It's a solid weld, just a little messy.)
