well installed for less than a week and the damn TurboXS test pipes cracked at the strongest point -- the weld....

i hope the next set i'm picking up will be stronger. sucks i gotta take it off again but i'll install a borla exhaust when i put the new test pipes on








the good one

 

Damn, that sucks!! Hopefully mine won't do that when I get them installed.

 

i hope it wasn't when i've been ddriving the car WOT. i heard the noise when i was cruising at highway speeds for 20 minutes straight. i never bottom out on my car as you can see

 

wtf, will they warranty that? i just ordered a set too. sigh, once again, wtf?!?!?!

 

+1 on the warranty. I wonder if they will.

 

da mayor, were did you buy them from? You may what to PM Sharif at Forged performance, he sell them and would know more about the warranty. Hope that helps.

i got them from an authorized distributor Adam at Z1auto.com and is a sponsor of this site for a great price. They're great and turboXS said they'll replace it but I have to send a unit to them first. Adam is helping me out trying to get me a set so I don't have to pay labor to take them on and off a million of times -- now thats customer service!

 

^^^^ Good to hear its working out for you. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed when mine go on.

 

sucks, I've got a set here I haven't installed yet.

Hope this is an isolated incident since I havent heard much about TXS tp's cracking.

Kinda makes me wonder if I should not attach that bracket, since most tp's dont have them.

 

If you dont attach the bracket the rest of your exhaust will probably break.

 

I have had my Turbo XS test pipes since Oct. and no cracks. The bracket is only there to give the heavy a$$ stock cat's support, I fill you don't need the bracket when using test pipes, which are very light compared to the stock cat's, but I could be wrong. I hope this helps.

if u attach the bracket, DONT force it into place. Also, only use the bracket if you have a Y pipe with a flex joint. I dont have either, but my test pipe has no welds that can crack, so im safe.

 

Take them off yourself.

 

after reading this makes me worry , i just installed mine yesterday so hopefully nothing is going to happen . anyways good luck with whatever you're getting next .

 

So youre saying if I dont have flex joints...dont attach the bracket? I have the old school injen which doesnt have the flex joints and have been looking in to getting test pipes. But I wasnt sure whether or not to get the ones with brackets or without.

 

^^^I have Injen true dual and my TXS pipes cracked exactly like on the OP's pics...on the driverside and on the mounting bracket only had it for about 4000 miles

 

mine crack on me over the weekend and i had to get it welded...i told the guy to just take off the brace and hack off the brackets....
