Greg,

For the record, I cut and fit all the components on the first few sets of pipes, this was prior to fixturing of the pipes for production. They were then known as "RR Stainless Pipes" which now is Firefly Performance Products pipes. I was the fabricator but not the welder for the first three sets of pipes. After the initial production of the pilot sets some weld failures showed up. Your original mufflers were part of this weld failure. Your set of pipes including the replaced mufflers were manufactured under my direction and on my fixtures by my current manufacturer. Prior to the weld failures, Jody and I already felt it would be prudent to "move on", which we did by out-sourcing the production to a vendor who was recommended to us and established in the business. We did personally select them after scrutinizing them for quality and reliability. Note: There have not been any failures since working with this current manufacturer. This was Jody's and my ultimate goal in bringing a quality product to our friends and customers.

I agree, it is time to move on, I do encourage any competition any others have to bring to the table.

Thanks for asking,

Ron
