I have bought things from Nick many times and never had a problem. As far as those pipes, they should come on a tt swap motor. It is up to you to CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK and know EXACTLY it is that you are getting. You say you were in a rush and couldnt research.... this is a upgrade.. why would you run into a upgrade without knowing everything you need to know, Buyer beware. As far as the cod..isn't that the canadian fee's that you got charged? This was shipped from us>canada so I am unsure what the fee's are and what was agreed upon. As far as the packaging, everything I have ever got from him has been packaged fine and arrived without a problem, so you might want to get with fedex for all that. Moral of the story: know what you are buying.
