Imitation Magnaflow X-Pipe?
So I ordered an 2.25" X Pipe last week from FasterThanThem. It arrived today and looks like a high school shop class cut and welded the thing. It came in a box with a crooked Magnaflow sticker on it. The 2.25" pipes are not even, which I know can be corrected when welding it onto the car, but they also come out angled? I don't know if it is even stainless. The inside of the welds are rusting already, which makes me think its not... Not to sound like a cry sack, but before i stick this on my car, I want to make sure its not some piece of POS thats gonna rust out and fall off... Anyone recall their X Pipe looking like this - that is anyone who definitely has the real deal?

My exhaust place ordered a "no name" x-pipe for $40 that looked much, much nicer than that one. How much did it cost you?

Yeah - that's what I thought... BTW, I paid $80 for it shipped. Magnaflow's website lists their price around $220, but I know that sometimes manufacturer's do that (overpriced direct) to support their distributor network... Sending an email to Faster Than Them about returning this ~ Thanks all

i got a fake x-pipe(not magnaflow) and mine looked more like this picture above me ^^. Just go to a muffler shop and let them take care of you, it'll be cheaper overall because your getting the pipe and installation from them.
