Default bub7 quality problems?

There are some threads were people talk about the bad quality of bub7 muffler's tips. I wonder if quality problems are only about the tips...

Do other people have problems with bub7 full systems or headers? I would like to read some answers from bub7 full systems users, I just bought bub7 headers and I'm starting to regret... Did I make a mistake choosing Bubs?


I have read that samson quality sucks, supetrapp get blue in a few thousen miles, people sais that V&H dosen't sound like they used to because of the new quiet baffles, Bassanis have a bad looking chrome finnish...

what's going on? is there any good exhaust brand in the world? should I stop reading forever? lol

D&D has the best chrome I ever seen anywhere on anything. I have had much success with them performance wise. Getting ready to put a Bub 7 2-1 on my Dyna build, got it for less than half the fatcat cost. We will see hoe it works out.

Had Bub7 TDs for a few years now and the chrome is flaking off the tips. Other than that, haven't had any problems with them at all and love the way they perform and sound. Since I'm well out of warranty when it started, I called to see about replacement tips and what they want for replacement tips is outrageous. So I'll live with it right now.
