They're probably not made in the US. It's not for lack of quality, or sound. I was pinched for cash when I bought mine, and wanted something different than stock. I actually bought some different ones, but they sent me the wrong ones. They ended up being a great buy. After having these, I tried to change the mufflers on the '05 side exhaust to Pypes, too, but that's mostly the woman's ride, and she likes the Magnaflows.
