lol at the tags.it was a honda breaker who i got the exhaust from,tegiwaonline.
they got back to me through the integra forum offering a refund which i said yes to but have not received yet.
their explanation was that the guy who took the pics didnt see the damage,plausable as the photos were taken of the exhaust on the floor and the damage was underneath,then the guy who took it apart and wrapped it didnt say it was fooked,if they handle loads of things a day its possible that it went un-noticed.i havent received my refund yet so i think another call may be in order!
