Could have been made clear there: "Most still are, but these are in house at the moment."
On that note are they made from scratch there, or are they made from modified versions of AP-GDA-176 which are Chinese-sourced?

Why would I state that
ONLY FRS/BRZ componets are the being made in the U.S.A. Do you know any different? AP was behind in making the 1st run because the AP guys were working on finishing up some 997TT and BMW parts.
In House!

A large part of what Agency Power produces is with performance exhaust components. Agency Power does not buy off the shelf Chinese exhaust systems like other brands. Agency Power actually prototypes the exhausts here in Arizona using our own or customer vehicles. We then test them on our Mustang AWD Dyno and make changes to achieve the best sound and performance we can get. Our exhaust prototypes are then shipped overseasto be made in large quantity. The reason for this is because of the quality, finish, and cost to produce the item overseas is far better then here in the USA. The stainless steel TIG welding is all robotic and all our exhaust systems feature completely polished piping. We have even introduced titanium mufflers and tips to certain vehicles. The Agency Power exhaust line is the only product that is not manufactured in the USA. We have included images below.

Where are you getting your facts on this is Chinese knock off stuff? I do not see it posted in link. I mean if we are going to get technical right? "overseas" Doesn't say China. Next, you also claim you knew they were made in China in the 1st thread., but now state you were
not aware things have changed. So you really do not know what you are talking about then right. So it would be safe to say maybe you should slow it down. I mean you just made a mistake right? So should I now try and hang you for it? I will point it out but not charge after you over it.
Next you do not listen. The Header is made in house. People that have stopped by have also told you its being made in house. They have seen how its made. And no I am not going to post how we do it. Its been said over and over again.
Now I might check back in here between now and Monday. But since I have weekends off. I missed a Subaru Event invite to Pismo and have a family life. I'm going to go enjoy my day.
Thanks!
