I can't believe SHOShop sells them for $550 without a Y-pipe or a warranty. That's nearly full price!!! Mine were like $610 shipped to my door & I had them about 2 weeks before you did... (they were all the same batch)
(I am sorry if it looks like I'm rubbing it in, but...)

You know, it is embarrassing to get taken that way, and I have to say it does not happen very often. I could have just kept it secret, but I want the public to know that I want to help them, even at the expense of my own pride. That said, I understand where you are coming from Demon; you want to help people by showing them a better option.
I do have the option to get my money back and I talked to Marty already about it. He will help me out if that is the way I want to go. Marty also said that from the looks of my y-pipe it would probably dyno out the same, or maybe within one HP of his. As I said above, I was planning on using my own pipe anyway, but I wanted to recoup some cash by selling the MSDS pipe off.
No worries though, I'm over it already. If this is the only bad purchase I've made since I started this engine project last fall, then I can say that I am ahead of the game and ahead of most of the Dorks out there who are spending thousands on stupid little gimicks and 1 HP adders.
This is for all of you out there...Use my experience and thanks for your sympathies.
Kaiser, thanks for the offer, I will try my own y-pipe and then we can look at yours if mine isn't looking too good.
