It is a Venom knock off, like the OBX. It will likely have poor fitment. If that picture is anywhere near accurate, the welds are garbage too.

I just noticed too that the descriptions says it is 304 SS at one point, and later it is 6061 AL.
More red flags for you.

Who the hell welded that thing together? It's not even worthy of being called a hackjob.
