beware of this pipe:

1995-2002 MAZDA Millenia 2.3L EXHAUST FRONT Y PIPE 7214619

the rear flange is not flush, there is about a 5mm gap, and it will contort the rear exh manifold till it breaks. then you get to replace the rear manifold, and it STILL wont bolt up. also, it appears that the pipe is a bit too short, so the front exh manifold bolt studs dont line up. after several attempts to contact the company, i have had no response. i would be leery of getting ANYTHING from this company, due to absence of customer support. i have left negative reviews, which have yet to be posted, i would be surprised if they were.

 

That sucks! It looks like a complicated piece.
What's the solution?
Anyway to heat it up and stretch it to conform it to work?
This is quite the unforseen problem that would pee anybody off.
