sounds like a good deal IMO, as long as the flanges are level. Good cast iron construction for max heat retention

Good deal since it's almost brand new.. But why is your friend getting rid of it after 200 miles??

someone actually gave it to him for free. i have no idea why but he says it's in perfect condition and wants to sell it for $80. if the uppipe was a helix (which is what my friend has already) i would have jumped on the offer. i just have no expierence with turbo xs.
