My experience so far - - installed d088 'Big Pack' this summer. Performance and function, all as expected/advertised; no issues. Showed favorable results during multiple super hot days, even in heavy SoCal traffic.

Since my performance shop installed all components, no first hand 'close-up' observations; i.e welds, etc. That said, my shop would've certainly notified me of visible defects, took pics, etc at time of install.

Vid for reference...
