    So I ordered a 3" downpipe and axles from wbs and wanted to throw up some pics. The dp is a 3" catted weld in with interflex. Looks to be very good quality, came with o2 bung, the cat is a no name brand. Main reason why I wanted to post was bcuz I searched and searched and couldnt find much info when I was lookn for axles. I saw a few good things about wbs and they said they had very few failures with them and that they are NEW. Well I get them in boxes that say USA Industries and it says reman on the box. Both boxes have part # ax-8619 on it. USA Ind. lists that as the front left axle on their website...cant tell if its new or reman. The other axle says cv3894 on the axle its self and when I searched that it says its a "fenco constant velocity axle" and advance auto parts sells them. Ive seen places online that say its new and reman....even wbs website says "new high performance axle" then in the description it says "reman gm core" So i emailed them to get specifics. Anyway they look decent, came with axle nut. Idk what way they install so idk if its the inside or outside boot, but one feels tougher than the other. Ill update when I hear back from wbs.





    Sry I didnt get a pic of the other side...its is completly welded and the weld quality is like the other welds seen in the pics.














    This axle had the cv3894 sticker on it
