Is this okay to run?

[ThaDude]

Just got my Megan turbo elbow in the mail, and I have to say it looks like shit. (I know, I know. You get what you paid for.)
I was wondering if this was ok to run or if I should return in asap?

I am mainly concerned about these cracks:

Here you can see the rest of this crap ass elbow:

Only half honed and very shitty where it was done.

Those arent cracks, its only welded on one side. You get what you pay for. Man up and use it.

A proper gasket should seal that. Worst case is those rust and the flange breaks off from the pipe from the shitty weld.

It should be fine. You'll know if its not pretty quick.

[ThaDude]

Yea, to me it looks like an unfinished piece. Thanks for the input guys!

What Megan product is finished? To be honest that looks like better quality then some of their stuff I have seen in the past.

[ThaDude]

That is a damn shame.

just through some jb weld in there sheel bee fine lmao

[EnemyS15]

Return and buy a quality product. You know you are gonna have issues down the road. Just do it right the first time

Just don't use those shit ass crappy Megan gaskets they give you with their parts. Had the one from my down pipe to test pipe almost completely disintegrate after less than 2 weeks of usage lol.

Agreed, its not like outer tie rods or something. It may develop a leak or fully snap off(not to likely) but big deal, just weld it back up and use it till your quality parts come in.

That elbow is pretty shitty, even by Megan standards.

But whatever, run it.

Then run some quality studs. I've run MR manifolds before and honestly, they lasted just as long as other name brand manifolds I've had like Mazworx. Just gotta make sure you take the proper preventative stuff like stiff engine mounts and adding a flex pipe in the DP.

Pretty much any exhaust products are going to look like that. I don't know if I've ever seen a flange welded on both sides on an off-the-shelf part...
