Default yesterday's x-pipe installation

right, so i call this muffler shop, and ask how much it would be to replace my stock h-pipe with an offroad x-pipe. he says "i can do a magnaflow x-pipe for 140 bucks."

i'm like "damn ok what time do you close?"

..................driving to the place at like mach 34..............

so i get there and dude cuts the cats off, and puts a little piece of pipe on where the cats were, and welds the stock pipes back on. i'm like "umm is this your version of offroad?"....

he shows me the x-pipe, and it's this little "cross section" piece, not a whole pipe, just the intersection. no wonder it was so cheap

so he ends up removing the H area on my stock pipes, and installs the x-pipe, and proceeds to rig up this god awful looking set up (attaching the X to the flows, etc). the dude can't even get the bends right, and wastes like 3 feet of pipe...

so i'm left with this (in order from the existing cats):

existing cats->stock pipes->welded on pipes where the other cats used to be->more stock pipe->extensions->x-pipe->extensions->flowmasters.

this HAS to be a ripoff?
