There is a very obvious difference in quality. The casting on the set I have here looks like swiss cheese compared to Int'l or Ford quality. I chose not to put them on, but I'd make you a good deal on them if I've waited to long to send them back!
With the T4 set-up, I never have to fool with the PITA 'babies butt' again!!!
Cost for T4/S366 comparable to 'good', coated bellowed up-pipes and a 38R - but the options for future turbo upgrades are unlimited (and the S366 is rebuildable, not 'disposable' like 38R...
You may have more success replacing the stock up-pipes and donuts at the same time. The old pipes are fatigued where the donuts seal and often folks have leaks again shortly after just replacing donuts (even the bigger GM option). They aren't expensive and could last as long as what ya have now lasted!

Hey Jason. I might be interested in the up pipes if you decide to sell them. Just holler and let me know pretty quick as this is next on my to do list.

I just saw these and decided given the regions reputation for poor quality metals, I didn't wanna use them...
Maybe I'm just picky??
This image would have come to my mind every time I heard an odd noise:
And, this is just tooooo cool. Thanks again Santa!
Wow... jr-idi, sorry for the hi-jack!!

I just had both of these things at the same time and decided I would PARK one of the PSD's before I put those dormat pipes on one...

That does look like some pretty nasty pitting on that set.. none of the other sets i have seen were like that.

The set I installed looked nothing like that. Matter of fact, you could probably lay the 2 (Dorman and IH) side by side and have a hard time telling them apart aside from the China cast into the Dorman collector.
