    The general rule is least amount of connections with maximum radius bends, now that's the general rule anywhere for anything, you're right the fit-up has been an issue and only BW has perfected and in production. I can attest to this "first hand" which is supposed to mean something, but it's ok, I understand

    Spring loaded slip fittings are a tell tale sign of a quality exhaust system.

    I love how he keeps talking down about the other available eBay headers having slip joints, when his black widow / Sandy's bike spare header has exactly the same joints on the two rear down pipes lol.

    Those are 2 necessary cradle connections , as you must know since you've removed and installed a full VFR system, right ? Plus this picture shows how the BW has less bends and greater radius than OEM because it does not have to bypass the center stand, but I know it's not a performance system,right?

    I heard the Delkevic don't fit up correctly and some systems have 4 clamped connections like wing nut showed in the link

    There is no Sandy anymore and for what it's worth a name is just a name, it's all about the particular product. The folks that actually do the work can be from anywhere and go anywhere, the same fellows could be welding up all the various names, so try not to get hung upon the name of the marketing name. You need to be product oriented than the brand name. Black Widow was worth a try and I can afford to pick and choose

    Black Widow are the best downpipe money can buy for a 5th Gen but I was also told they are currently out of stock and will be back in a month or so with a high level exhaust, no matter what you think or say, this is in fact, not only the best but the only 5th Gen full system currently available and soon obtainable in the entire world. The fact that you rant and rave about what is not being produced or ever available shows that you are not actively involved in the choices you have to make to make progress improving a 5th Gen VFR

    Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/181206330787

    Are you purposely trying to be full of shit or does it just come naturally? Lol

    By the way, no one is trying to stop quality fifth gen header manufacturing. Fifth and sixth gen headers are interchangeable... I am actually pushing very hard for a true performance header to be made (the Tyga headers). And you're cluttering up the internet, rambling on about generic eBay specials lol.

    Listen, if the only tire manufacturer in the world, made a shit tire, and you had no other choices, would that shit tire suddenly become a great tire?

    What if there were great tires, still boxed away (and some how still fresh lol), but you actually had to get off your ass to find them, would they not be of any worth (because of your selectively worded title lol)?

    The Delkevic and Black Widow are offering the exact same products and I bet they are being source from China, so that's that but it's still the best option available you can actually obtained as you can see from my video, but now I think your right I need to find a full performance system or have one built or ceramic coat a 98/99 OEM but I don't think it's worth the time effort or money and this is good enough

    Look you need to wake up and realize if you can't get a production run setup within a month it's never going to happen, your just getting the song and dance , get real
