RNR exhaust is made in china???

take a look at this......they are selling test pipe (they are calling it HF cat....) for $110
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ht=rnr+exhaust


u can get this RNR test pip on ebay for only $35
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mitsu...QQcmdZViewItem

and here is for the downpipe....
this is exactly same one with RNR downpipe...its only $105 on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T-Pro...QQcmdZViewItem



RNR claimed that its made in their own house.. bull shi-t... they only interested in making money and not to mention their shipping service sucks big time....

Yes I agree their shipping sucks, but Ryan seems to be a decent guy so far with my tbe situation. I just hope he resolves it quickly before I go postal again, and im sure you guys dont want that

Maybe Ryan can chip in and tell us more about his fabrication process, or has anyone been to RNR's shop? Man these days, i wouldnt be suprised if its made in china, too many things made in China!

Like say North Face, NF has a factory in China, but in the factory they steal the blanks and sell the on the streets cheap

Unless you have proof that it is made in China. But the parts do look exactly the same as the ebay ones. Does it say RNR on any of those parts, if not I dont see why wouldnt they not put it on unless its really made by someone else?

well the one on Ebay is a Megan Racing test pipe. I'm not sure if RNR is using the same thing but I'd be inclined to say that they aren't.

Not to mention all the shady f*cking people calling oversized test pipes high flow cats. When did false advertising become cool? If it has no HONEYCOMB the it is not a damn catalytic convertor and should not be sold as such. That is just shady as heck.

Yup I had a few issues with Rnr in the past look at some of my last posts. Their shipping is horrible, their promises are non-existant, and well if any want more info PM me.

Surely you don't mean this. I would suggest you do some research on the matter. The Chinese are as capable of producing quality goods as most any nation in the world.

I would also add that just because they look the same doesn't mean they are the same. Many importers simply buy the US companies products and ship it overseas to be copied.

Only Ryan can answer this question, but he may be a victim just like AMS.

Yea I dont want to rant on with RNR as Ryan is resolving the issue with my tbe, he seems to try to make everyone happy but he's been too busy lately or always busy actually. Im just going to leave the situation as is until he does something about it, if not you guys will see me flood the forums with my rants, jk
