Default Problems with the Trubendz s pipe

I went to go install my s pipe only to find out that the O2 sensor hits the driveshaft bearing housing. But i was able to flex the pipe enough to keep it from hitting. just wanted you guys to know that this happened if you decide to purchase one. THey were more than happy to replace it but I had already welded another bung onto the pipe and decided to finsh the install and forget the swap out.

this is what happens when you modify your pipe and then put it on, then you hear noises when driving in reverse but not when normally driving. So i lift the car to find the nice gap in my pipe from where it rubbed the driveshaft.
