Default is this drag piping? pics...

just bought these off someone on g2ic, I am allittle disapointed,
First is this drag piping, it is only around 2.0 od, I thought drag was 2.5 from tb to intercooler this is 2.0 everwhere? Second the flange is cut which is no biggie but a hassle.
Third the welds suck.

the drag gen 2 and gen 3 used 2 1/4" piping. At least, thats how they came on my gen 2 kit for my H series and my buddies gen 3 for his b16a.

I'm only going to add this to this debate:

There are a lot of fake DRAG products floating around.

Even if it was Drag then it looks like it's 10 years old

If those were ever DRAG pipes originally, they've been hacked and rewelded to the point of non-recognition... DRAG pipes are chrome plated after any welding so there shouldn't be any weld beads visible as shown in your pics.

Drag pipes dont have beads on the end of them either. Thats good for keeping your pipes on and not leaking though
