Honestly Eddie I remember you trying to pull a fast one with me a while back and have one of my distrubutors falsify a proof of purchase for you. You approach at getting things done has not helped you in any way.

haha, I'm not posting here to argue or promote/bash kits. I was simply letting this guy know he is not alone, and possibly helping other tn owners who are searching for exhaust leak info know a potentially troublesome area to check.

I agree with what craig said. Before posting the thread did you try to work out the problem?

After you use that, make sure you have it in the air and have someone rev up the car....a facial you'll never forget

Too bad they don't have a smiley where his face burns off...

The only solution to this problem is a simple weld. Its good to post threads like this so people learn from your mistakes.

I DO agree that there must have been too much stress on single point causing it to crack.

OP - go buy an STS kit. I'm sure they'd appreciate having you as a customer. (that is, if you actually bought the kit from them)
