Turned out they took freaking 8hours total and the pipes were touching each other. Because the pipes were close enough to touch each other, they didn't match up to middle pipes. The shop had to bend the middle pipes sooooo hard to fit them and that's why it took so long. It's MS coated donwpipes. I was so pissed and tired of waiting.

Well.... the worst part is that it's leaking after 8hours of waiting! They are going to put more gaskets on Monday if possible and see how it goes.

What should i do at this point? I worry about stresses on the parts for long term as they are bent so hard. And the exhaust is leaking. Should i just take it to another shop? I already paid $400 and wasted my Saturday.

B-day gift to myself became a huge headache.
Which pipes did you get, Im in the market for a set and would hate to go through what you just did.

Hope it all works out.
