Default I checked my test pipes to find....

A crack that went around the whole pipe on the passenger side! I heard raspiness before this happened and I knew that my test pipe was cracked. Little did I know that if I had kept it on my car any longer, the pipe would have most likey fallen apart. These were custom pipes that I bought from a member on this forum. I think the piping wasn't strong enough. I compared it to the new Megan resonated pipes, and the megans were much thicker. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

BTW: The megan resonated pipes are very nice. I think the exhaust is just loud enough and the resonators definately take out a good bit of the raspiness.

Wow that sucks man, same thing happened to me only with my stock Y pipe, it just snapped right in half before the split. Nissan replaced it for free, but damn was it loud as hell with my test pipes.
