Build Quality - Delkevic vs Fuel?
 
Is there any appreciable difference in build quality / finish for these two?

Looking at 350mm can for K5 s. With forum discount, the Fuel is only about a tenner more.

Very happy with my oval stainless Delkevic can. A little discolored near the welds but otherwise, Shiny Shiny.

I have a micro-mini fuel in stainless steel. other than the road grime that the AR chucked on it this weekend and the scratch i put it in like a doof, mine is mint! its a standard round and in hindsight maybe should have gone with oval (would prob not be scratched now). Other than that the looks are great, sound is epic and from what i can tell excellent build quality. ordered mine with the org discount :)

Fuel also offer a life time warranty on everything except CF cans(1 year for them), del ones are only 3 or 5 years I think or 1 for CF. Dont quote me on that but its worth looking up on their websites. Personally id go with fuel as its cheaper for pretty much th same item, plus they're british made!

Except not the packing. And if you want to buy packing, they won't sell it to you.

Didnt know that YC, Would they not re-pack the exhaust for a fee if you wanted it done?

Yeah but this was a few years ago and it wasn't viable to be without an exhaust for a week or whatever while they fannied about compared to repacking it yourself in a couple of hours.
