No "pattern" part exhausts are made well at all!
They must have gone downhill comparatively recently then or I've been buying old stock that's been sat around for a while - certainly that's entirely feasible for the 205 stuff, but the mid-section I bought for my in-laws 306 last year certainly seemed to be good quality and still looks in good order now (although who knows how long that had been in a warehouse for)
I struggle to believe that it's gone downhill so far as to be as bad as Klarius though - last one of those I fitted looked and felt cheap when new and after one winter you'd swear that it had been sat at the bottom of the ocean for a decade such was the level of rust. Terrible, terrible systems.... but that's what happens when the number one criteria that most people buy on is price rather than quality
Mind you, such a drop in quality wouldn't be unprecedented.... Arvin used to be good a decade or so back, and turned to sh**e when they merged with someone else.
