Oh man that looks really bad. They could make an argument for the scratched tips saying it was a shipping accident but the 2in missing weld is really not cool. Still I guess going half on the install would be a decent thing to do. They sent you a crap exhaust but it would probably be reasonable for you to have checked it over in detail before putting it on and paying $90.

Yeah... refurbished. Maybe he sent you some used junk. That exhaust looks terrible.

The picture of the tips is the replacement exhaust . I unwrapped both tips and called right away . Spoke with the owner and he hand picked the replacement himself. Bot exhaust were package really well . No damage from shipping . Quality control issues . What really bothers me is that the owner never once apologized . He kept saying this is such a pain and he does not want to lose anymore money . Alex was the only one who did . More pics .....

If you look at the exhaust the only thing that has exposed tig welds is the canisters. All the other welds look like cooled lava goobers.
