Cattman mid/B-pipe fitment problems?

I just "tried" installing my cattman mid and b-pipe and they were nowhere near the right size to fit under my car. Anybody else have this problem? I emailed them telling my problem and pics.

I'm not sure if this will help on the B-pipe, but supposedly if you rotate the B-pipe wrong you'll have the top on bottom and it won't line up correctly. They are so close that you can't "eyeball" which side it top and bottom, so if it isn't labeled, I'd rotate it and try again.

Let me know, because I was planning on maybe getting it. Can you post pics?

Talked to Brian, might have figured out the problem. I'll keep you posted.

Alright apparently, the first batch of mid/b-pipes he had were all CA emissions. Mine is a federal emmissions max so there was an extra gooseneck that connected directly to the cat. There is an O2 sensor in that gooseneck, that the CA/NLEV cars dont have. So he's gonna use my car/pipe to figure out where to put the hole for the sensor and include a plug for those who dont have the sensor. These pipes should be ready relatively soon I think, but im not sure. Hope that made any sense...

Damn~! That was my second guess, but I figured that was too easy to get right, so there was no way you got the wrong version.

Oh well, glad it worked out.
