an actual failure?

I suspect not.

PIM has been selling them for years, and later an E-bay source has been 
selling them directly to Pantera owners.   There are lots of cars running 
around with these on them, and I have seen/heard them myself, I've also shipped 
several sets to European owners.   I have yet to hear a single complaint, and 
everyone I know who has them absolutely raves about them.

So I wouldn't be so quick to condemn them based on conjecture based on a 
small photo from a website.

Now, aesthetically, the other mufflers they sell leave quite a bit to be 
desired in my opinion...but the ones in question look just like Mind Train 
mufflers, i.e. awesome.
