I added a shit ton of products to my Panigale and Diavel and Supersport from eBay and AliExpress where all the parts were from China. They look exactly the same and they function just as well as the overpriced Italian parts. I hate to say to some of your naysayers and non-believers, but China is actually way more technologically advanced than Italy will ever be in manufacturing of parts. Also, the cost savings is absolutely insane. The crazy markup that Italy puts on their parts is out of this world. The Italian parts must have been blessed by the pope using holy pasta water in order to quadruple the price.
Buying a Chinese *designed* and Chinese manufactured, good quality exhaust system should be encouraged - it is part of healthy market flow and in Everybody's interest. However, buying something which is an illegal copy, is to fund a disruptive economic warfare that benefits only China. Most of the R&D costs for that design are paid upfront by the genuine manufacturer, who are then having most of their revenue stolen by pirate companies who use slave labor and illegal espionage. That is why the genuine price is inflated, because the theft enabled by immoral customer choices, keeps the capacity of the genuine company smaller. To buy this is literally inflating the CCP spy budget, compounding the problem. Next it will be a "mom and pop" American company and consumers will still betray their countrymen and their allies for fifty pieces. It does sound great though.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, @mikerope5785. I appreciate your perspective on the importance of supporting genuine manufacturers and the broader economic implications of our purchasing choices. It's crucial for consumers to be aware of the impact their decisions have on both local industries and global markets. Encouraging ethical sourcing and supporting companies that invest in research and development can foster a healthier economy for everyone. Your insights contribute to a valuable conversation about responsible consumerism. The purpose of this video series was to find out if this cheap system is any good. Much to our surprise it is. To your point the unnamed manufacturer most likely reverse engineered a couple different mainstream systems. Then found cheaper materials/labor. -Tim
This is really tempting. Do you have it tuned?
Yes, on the channel we have a video where we tuned it. - Tim

Holy Pasta Water absolutely broke me. -Tim
