Default my experience with ichiba resonated test pipes

so i decided that it was time to get some tp's..i was placing an order on mynismo.com and added ichiba resonated test pipes to the order..the order shipped after like 10 days because mynismo.com told me that they are waiting for the ichibas...fine...tp's came and today i decided to install them. Removed my cats and put the 1st test pipe..i matched it with the headers and noticed that at the other end the test pipe and the y-pipe bolt holes were so much apart angle wise (see pic below) ...i tried to put that test pipe on the other side and they matched perfectly BUT now the sensor hole was on the other side! i knew that there is no other choice! i took it to an exhaust shop and had them switch the place of the sensor hole 180 degrees and close the other hole (as u can see in the pic) and i got them on...it cost me time and money! this is the last thing i buy from ichiba and am sure so many ppl will too after reading this thread...

Yeah, I would have just tried to send them back. Only ichiba parts I've bought are spacers(all worked fine) but that's probably all I would ever get from them.
