Cracked Downpipe...

[Jimlad]

today I noticed I had a great big ruddy crack on my downpipe.

I bought it from fensport (aussie downpipe), just less than 2 years ago. They supplied a bracket a few months later because there were known issues with cracking. The bracket was fitted, but it obviously didn't do the job as it has cracked.

Anyone know where I stand on this? I don't know how long a garauntee if any, they supply. Surely I would expect some sort of replacement. It's not as if the downpipe is a cheapy.

Any idea??

Should have thought they would have told you the length of the warrenty on it??

[Jimlad]

totally don't know... lol.

Also, seeing as it was so long ago, I'm not sure I have the receipt etc. But I have my old address where I lived then. Surely they can check their records??

Some S/Steal exhaust have alife time waranty ! Scorpion do !

Id try and get a replacement !

Failing that, you could get it welded up !

[dj_davo]

a lot of the imoc peeps often mention how stainless manifolds are prone to cracking - with some having witnessed this first hand.

however, they are defo supposed to give a performance increase, and look very sexy too.

of course you would have to do away with the heatshield and lose such an attractive engine bay feature!

for £120 its maybe worth a buy, if it cracks - ah well.

I had my hyper-sports downpipe welded up after cracking and it's fine after three months punishment so far.

You'd be surprised what a quality welder can do!
