Fyreant if our X-Pipe did that we will gladly send you a new O2 sensor. Our QC team must have missed whatever isn't right about that O2 bung. We run a tap thru every O2 bung on every system we build to catch any imperfections. It's unusually rare to see this happen and I apologize for that. We'd also like to arrange having the X-Pipe returned for repair. We can turn it around the same day.
Please email me your contact info and we'll set it up.
For future reference to anyone that buys our system new or used, please contact us first. We'll be more than helpful getting what you need out immediately or making whatever correction or change is needed. Thanks.

Did you get your set used? My set was one of the early sets which had some clearance issues. Nothing I couldn't handle on my own though. As I understand it, they have slightly revised them so that there aren't clearance issues anymore. That's why I ask if you got an older set..
