Default Screwed by Testpipes.com

Beware of TESTPIPE.COM guys. Two weeks ago I custom ordered a 2.5" testpipe and specifically asked for 16-5/8" in length because of my JDM 4-1 header. The pipe gets to me normal ship time but when I open the box I noticed the pipe to be smaller in diameter right away from my older 2.5" carsound cat. I thought my eyes were tricking me so i put a ruler up to the 3hole side of the pipe and it only measured 2.25". I'm like WTF!! And the o2 bung was on the other end. So I called the A-Holes up right away and get the lady that doesnt speak english. I'm sure some of you remember her. I told her my shitz is wrong and she told me to send back the pipe with a note detailing what I need. Ok. so I'm like everyone can mess up once in a while so I send it back with a TYPED LETTER IN BIG FONT stating what I need. Monday I recieved another pipe from them. I opened up the box and ****. It seemed so long and the diameter once again look smaller like last time 2.25". I measured it again and YEP it was BS 2.25" again but again indented onto the pipe it saids 2.5". What a crock of ****. I measured the length and found out it was not customed lengthed shorter like I requested. I only thing right they did on this second pipe is put the o2 bung on the 3hole side. This is my first and last transaction I will do with Testpipe.com. I will now join the many that oppose this place. The worst thing was that they didnt even know WTF a TYPER was when I told them what car I had.

DAVE. If you read this post have you received my IM yet?

That's really strange. I ordered a TP from them about a year ago, received it within a few days and it has been great so far. When I called to order, all I said was that "I need a 2.5" testpipe for an Integra Type -R" and the guy knew what I wanted. The only complaint I had was that the O2 bung was towards the front of the pipe and in the 4 O'clock position if you look under from the front of the car. But that was easily remedied by extending the O2 wires a foot or so. Fitment was great (W/ DC JDM 4:1 and stock ITR exhaust), weld quality was good (not outstanding, but good) and you can't beat the all S.S. construction. You can't go go wrong w/ $39.95 + shipping! I took a couple of pics of it last night while changing the oil. I'll post them when I get home tonight. It has a nice "gold" color to it now. Sorry you had such a shitty experience! Good Luck!
