Angry Ichiba resonated TP flex pipe?

So I just got my shipment of the Ichiba resonated test pipes and right when I opened the package, a big came from my face. Since when did Ichiba have flex pipes? All the pictures that I've seen have no flex pipes. I've tried calling Ichiba directly but it says that their number is no longer available. Anyone know whats going on? Should I just keep it or do something? I mean, wouldnt a flex pipe help with vibrations?

The thing that bothering me the most is that it looks exactly like the Megans. I would've just picked up some Megans for cheaper if they were gonna be the exact same.

Let me know your inputs!

Yup they look like Megan, they probably get them from the same place in China as Megan does.

Right? .. Any opinions on what I should do? I did not want to pay more when I can just get the same part for cheaper.

Those aren't Ichibas. I had Ichiba resonated TP's and they didn't have a flex pipe. Those look exactly like Megan. I would send them back.

Megan exhaust products are as bad as people think. Most likely the same factory, "new design" maybe.

Hey Justin this exact thing just happened to me too. Where did you order the test pipes from? I think something fishy is happening over at the Ichiba factory.
