Just noticed this on ebay - nothing to do with me but someone may be interested.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

They look home brewed!
Breakthrough of duffers, I couldn't tell.

Price seems a bit steep for used. I agree with Mike. They look home made.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

The eBay ad said they were manufactured by Modesett in Yorba Linda, California.

Looks like Modesett was a engineering/manufacturing company in Yorba Linda, California.
Incorporated in 1974 but no longer in business.

There's another Modesett exhaust listed on eBay too:
