I have this muffler. I cant remember the manufacturer, but the build quality is obviously "cheap and quick." It does not leak, but the bends in the pipe look cheap. It is as quiet as the Starla muffler. The only real difference is that it is generally warrantied at most to 1 year. If you read the archives, this muffler will rust pretty quick compared to the Starla. What I did is buy a can of Rustoleum (the high temp version, from Home Depot) for about $5 and sprayed the whole exhaust pipe and muffler with it, especially the welds. One year later it is still perfect, no rust at all. I painted it white so I can see the rust. Hopefully its not rusting on the inside, but anyway, if I had to do it over again I would spend the few extra bucks and get the Starla. Even then, make sure you put some kind of high temp spray paint like rustoleum on the welds on where the pipe goes into and out of the muffler.
