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.

If a product looks that bad in a professionally done advertisement, you don't want to see it in person, let alone in your engine bay.
