Default How can you tell if your Crawford HFC is cracked?

Just was curious.
I have them on now, but I don't hear as much noise from the Cats anymore.
It could be because of the reflash, but I dunno.
On the searches I've done in most cases it makes funny noise.
I don't have any funny noise at all, but just that it's a lot quieter than before.
It kinda makes you think about it ya know~

A visual inspection is a good idea.

Ive gone through many cracked crawfords. If it is cracked it will start to sound like there is a garbage bag caught on your rearview mirror blowing in the wind. Put your lips together loosely and blow...thats the sound. This will get worse over a couple days until your car sounds broken and you are very upset, once fixed it sounds good again. I will be testing a new prototype from them soon so they are working on the issue still.

Yeah, my drivers side just cracked, and had them taken off today. It made kind of a fluttering type sound, especially during deceleration. Only had these on for a couple of months. Need to call Doug tomorrow and see if there is any kind of replacement policy on these. I do have a Nismo exhaust, and I know there have been issues with the two. Wonder if changing the Y pipe would help.
