Default Cracked Test Pipe

Well I purchased a set of Megan tp's and one of these damn things cracked on me. Happened right along the top part where it welds to the resonator. Car sounded like shiet today. Drove it to the nearest muffler shop and had them weld the crack. I know its only a temp fix, what should I do?? Take them off or leave them in and have them weld some brackets or something so they dont flex?? I can feel them moving around when I accelerate semi-hard out of 1st gear or over bumps.

Removing, welding, and installing is a pain and expensive. Why throw good money after bad?
