I installed on of their exhausts a few weeks ago. Fit was very nice.
Everything lined up. I used Stainless "A4" hardware except for the brackets
to the mounting. Sound was a little throaty but acceptable to me. This
exhaust also included their "CARB" approved cat. My only concern so far is
how easy it was to get the pipes to "glow".

We're just finishing up a partial resto on a 1991 Westy that's getting the
GW SS exhaust.
So, I'll let you know in a few weeks about the fit and finish. Sure can't
beat that price, and I know they're having a tough time keeping up with
demand.
Cheers,
Jeff

Any body have experience with the stainless steel muffler and/or pipes sold
by GoWesty? My muffler is shot, and the collector and header pipes aren't
looking too healthy either.
