I'm sure that if you would type your message in a manner that people could understand you, you would have more replies. Possibly even more people willing to help you.

My muffler shop did the SAME thing with my b-pipe. I took it back and explained to them why I paid for mandrel-pipes. :-X Eventually I took it to another shop and paid $40, they took out the insert and put a bigger pipe on the outside of it. Then they pressured the pipe to make it the same diameter as the rest of the pipe. That's how it should've been from the beginning but I think that the smaller pipe inside is stronger and that's why they prefer to do it.

It's easier to weld that way. Most clowns at a mufler shop are pretty shady welders...
