I thought Id just attach an image:

You can see how different that shapes and sizes are, especially in the rear
pipes with the big bend.

In the picture they are laid out according to RMW instructions. Left is
drivers side and top is front. The instructions say I should have two pipes
with yellow stickers, those are the rear pipes. Instead I have one yellow
and one red. Is is possible I received one 2wd rear pipe and one sycro rear
pipe??
