Default Problems with pypes off-road X pipe

I am wondering if anyone has ever received a X-pipe from Pipes that actually came in right?

I have so far ordered 4 and all have come wrong. I ordered two first and they both came wrong. I ordered two polished stainless steel and got 2 regular stainless with just the small pipe (the one that goes to the left manifold) polished. They agreed to change one of them so then I received a full stainless steel one and it came in bent from them causing it to hit my underbody and cause rattle. So after trying them to change it I finally bought another one and would you guess what? It came in wrong again and not only that it the X is completely screwed. One tube portrudes significally more than the other one. This is bull****.

My pypes o/r h is a piece. What a waste of money. Cheap quality, junk fitment. Wonder if they have little kids putting the stuff together.

Mine is great, but you get what you pay for,..........it is the lowest priced one out there.

Mine had no fitment issues, or anything.

I ordered the Pypes O/R H and it was packed so poorly that one end of the pipe was sticking out of the end of the box and was slightly caved.

I mean I have ordered 4 x pipes and not even 1 has been correct. What kind of company are they running over there? I swear they got a kindergarden school somewhere assembling their piece of sh*t parts.

Before i got my headers i had a pypes X-pipe. It was garbage. I had to re-weld an o2 bung because it didnt fit.

yeah my x pipe was crappy, and I had to also reweld the o2 bung. from looking at prices, it looks like the bbk one is the next best thing.
