Default Js Racing QC

Has Js Racing Quality Control diminished? I received this 60RS Stainless steel and upon opening the package, the very first things noticed were the poorly done welds all throughout the exhaust. I was so shocked to see such horrible craftsmanship from a brand that is so widely praised by the s community.

Here are some pictures. Notice that the first pic is the exhaust tip and muffler weld which shows a perfectly straight/consistent weld. The rest are just simply sh!t.
I’m thinking that the exhaust tip is machine welded and the others are hand welded but in this particular case, hand welded while blindfolded.

Hah! So you were the guy on the FB group. Did you take that down per Evasive's request? Because that thread was turning into a total shitshow.

As far as the exhaust goes I have no words.....Speculation can just go in way too many directions for this one lol. @RolanTHUNDER I take it your J's exhaust didn't look like that, even though you got it secondhand

Why are you giving in @Nibreezy ? Did Evasive make it right?

I am no way giving in but allowing them time to fix this. They are the vendor, not the manufacturer.

J's Racing quality has sucked for years.

My J's lip for both my AP1 and my old GD3 Fit were both, hmm, less than well constructed.

That and the supremely common failure of their Ti exhausts, etc.
