Ordered a non carb compliant off Amazon and this showed up (even with prime shipping) straight from magnaflow. Wonder if they either pulled the regular after complaints of the bosal or are out of them.
I am in Y-Pipe Hell and don't know what the F to do. Here is the backstory on my situation.
Bosal pipe purchased about 5 years ago developed hole. I submitted a warranty claim, received a new bosal pipe. At the same time I was searching for a used OEM setup. Found a used OEM tailpipe & muffler, the seller also sent me a used y-pipe and second cat. Long story short is this used y-pipe he sent me doesn't fit(its not OEM) and the flanges are different. The flanges on this stranged brand pipe have a circular channel for a gasket to sit in which is not like the OEM pipe's(that I can tell) so the gaskets are sitting too deep and don't flush up tight when the pipe is installed.
Meanwhile Im sitting on this bosal replacement that I received. I'm hesitant to use it as I can already tell those flanges won't line up. Yesterday I spent 3 hours slamming pieces of 2x4 into the pipe trying to spread out the "Y" which I was able to do however in doing so I stripped 3 manifold studs trying to get the pipe seated properly. It's impossible to get a piece of 2x4 seated in between the pipe flanges in a way that makes it just plug and play.
So now I am out 3 more studs and need all new studs and nuts and I've emailed Auto Parts Warehouse asking for a full refund on the replacement Bosal pipe I received.
I'm so fed up with this component and just want to buy the Magnaflow. How can I guarantee if I order the Magnaflow from Amazon I am getting a Magnaflow and not a Bosal.
I just want a part that will fit.
Just scored a supposed Magnaflow 23120 off amazon for $140 shipped, we'll see what shows up!
Wow. I purchased a new one through Amazon on Sept 12 for $249.15.Its no longer $140 though........

NOTE:
The O ring manifold gaskets that Magnaflow supplies are junk. Do yourself a favor and order OEM parts:
90080-43036 donuts.
90080-12007 manifold studs, and 90080-17187 nuts.
90179-08059 nuts and 89466-20020-83 gaskets for the O2 sensors.
Wait, it's $100 more expensive only 3 weeks later? Not cool.Wow. I purchased a new one through Amazon on Sept 12 for $249.15.
