PLM (private label manufacturing) j pipe?
Does anyone have the plm j pipe? I've been thinking about buying. I originally wanted rv6 but now they are out of stock till September. I know tsudo makes one but I've heard they have problems and I'm trying to stay under 450 which rules out ATLP and XLR8 (long tube 3d cat delete). I know you get what you pay for with the tl but the plm is $22 less than rv6 after discount on rv6 so that doesn't really apply here. I just think plm is less know for the the v6 stuff and more for 4 cylinder Honda's but I've never had experience with their products.

it's just a pipe. 
if something fails on it, just go to exhaust shop and re-weld whatever has broken.
THat's what I did to my RV6...over the years the flex pipe got fucked up. I had an exhaust shop remove the flex pipe and weld it straight. there's no flex in it. yeah it's hard to bolt up because it needs a little flex, but once its on the car...it aint flexing.

needs that freedom of movement to avoid rubbing/issues. The PLM looks like a direct copy of XLR8 and similar to the V3-R ATLP j-pipe. I'm only concerned because a few listing show just "stainless steel" and does not specify which one. A shit quality stainless might not be worth it.

There was a thread years ago mentioning the flex pipes were very necessary or something could go wrong eventually. If I recall it wasn't catastrophic but probably not the best. How would one repair broken flex pipes properly?
