I told them to put the old one back in it for now until I contact ER. They've been working with the performance shop to figure out what went on, but I'm not exactly too happy as I now have an incorrectly sized downpipe and am out the money for 2 hours of labor.
I had the same problem with mine (bought from ER too), the final section was larger than the stock exhaust tube, so we had to cut this part of the DP and place a right sized one that would fit. It was a 30 minutes job, but a PITA to do, as it was already placed on the turbine side and we had to take it off.
But the final result is very good!
