It was my decision, and my decision alone to go ahead and clearance the pipe and drill the exhaust flange holes to get it to fit. Could I have boxed it up and shipped it back and asked for a refund? Yes. It's a very short season up here and I haven't got the time to wait for a refund and get another DP. A gentleman asked if anyone had any experience with a GBODY DP...and I gave him my honest answer. I've had other parts that I've had to tweak to get to fit...and I don't mind that. I had to bend the DP in a full inch to clear the frame and drill the exhaust flange holes to match the exhaust housing holes...I call that excessive.

sounds like a 50-50 proposition...some fit, and some don't. Not very good odds.

I had to drill out the holes in my THDP to get it to fit good, I could get it on without doing this but the one bolt actually started cutting threads into the DP flange, so I decided to drill. Never tried the GBP DP Joe

I helped a few with fitting ATR and THDP. downpipes. Even the Mease pipe wasn't a perfect fit.

My THDP fit the first time. Went in and didnt touch a thing. The only problem I had was getting the testpipe to fit with the exhaust and DP mounted. Had to pull it and get the testpipe expanded some. Other than that it was a great product. It was the first one I'd ever installed, so maybe that was why the pipes didnt line up. I guess I just got a lucky pick.  As for the GBP DP, all the ones Ive seen have fit fine. I have heard the puck didnt align up on some, but I've never personally experienced that. I wouldnt hesitate to buy one though. Brian has always treated me right.

Either mark it up and rebend for clearance or send it back for a refund. But since you had a tantrum your out the pipe and money.
