So have been waiting for my new Yoshi system to arrive from the USA for awhile now and today it came. As you can imagine I got very excited to open the box. Which is when I saw this
Now I am by no means a gifted welder BUT for F'Sakes Yoshimura is this really considered Quality control ? I am pretty sure I could have done a neater job with my crappy old stick welder, and do they not have pickle juice handy to clean a weld because 50% of all welds on my headers are still all blacked out. :disapproval:
This particular weld appears after checking internally to be solid and sealed, so is mostly a cosmetic thing but still for a production system costing the better part of a grand this is just not good enough. Yes I have mates that could neatly weld it up should it turn out not be a good weld but I do not think that is the point. To add insult to injury cylinder pipes 2 & 3 are lightly scratched because Yoshi did not secure the gasket pieces. Again the scratches will be able to be fixed with some heavy polish but WTF this system is brand new.
I have sent an email with pics to Yoshi asking for their response and to be fair they have not had sufficent time to respond but I am not really a happy camper right about now. I will update when I hear back from the seller and from Yoshi.
:rant: over for now time for beer
