well i went to the store and got some proper sized allen screws, then i slowly drilled out the holes and then i put the sensor on backwards case they didnt tell me u had to put it opposite of what it is stock, so refusing to take it apart again i think i stripped both screws but thank god they are tight enough, and siliconed them so they cant turn just in case.
And for those who will run into this problem, u need a m6X1 12 mm allen screw since a bolt head will not have enough room it seemed. and slowly slowly drill the hole bigger, the metal insert turns if u do it fast. whatever drill bit just fits in, drill the hole 2 sizes bigger, i forgot what size it was. make sure u step it up one size at a time or it wont work, then if u want do what i did and tape it to m6x1 after which was very easy.

I feel your pain. I will never do business with them again.
You have the stock sensors or GMS1? I used a regular ol m6x1.0 that was the same size as the head light bracket bolts. Worked fine but I have the 3bar (GMS1) sensors...

cold side pipe came with no instructions, bolts/screws OR a coupler. At the time I ordered mine, the site didn't even mention that you need 2.75"->2.5" coupler to hook it up to the throttle body (and it STILL doesn't even after I suggested it). I had to drive 2hr round trip just to get the coupler i needed bc i got sick of waiting for stuff to come through the mail. I can keep going...

Exactly. There's so much more. I have been contemplating making a post about it but Jason was a nice guy despite the issues plus I don't wanna stir the pot but at the same time, it's gonna happen to more people if I don't. Guuuhhh....
lol , i told you there customer service was horrible.
