Summary - I regret buying and installing the part.
Bought the part from Khartunerz and it shipped a week or so late due to delays in fabricating the part etc, which is okay, I would rather wait for something made right.
Part arrives with ZERO packaging protection, just thrown in the box and both pipes were sticking out the box with Fedex tapes trying to keep them in. No damage to the pipe thankfully, then I notice one of the O2 bungs not completely welded, informed Khartunerz about it and that I need some sort of refund to fix, says ok but over a week now with reminders and no reply.
Installed the part and driver side mid pipe is hitting the underbody, due to the bad fitment and alignment of the flange it was pulling the midepipe up. We removed the midpipe and heated it to bend it to solve the issue. Installed everything back and aligned and tightened everything, while driving the car out of the lift we started hearing a grinding noise, only at certain angles when turning. Put the car back up and noticed the steering rod was touching the pipe. Now I will have to remove the pipe which is a very difficult job and heat it to bend it and re-install which is easily a 5-6 hour job for the removal/install, and then most likely the midpipe will need aligning and heating again. I informed Khartunerz and I am waiting on the response for at least a 50% refund as the money to get this pipe removed, then fixed and corrected and reinstalled is at least two times the price I paid for that pipe itself.
