ok i allready had a magnaflow cat back exhaust installed on my 04 ep3 today i installed a magan ss header and test pipe took it for a spin and it got really loud looked under the car and the weld on the mid pipe broke! the one that connects to the test pipe. the flange with 3 bolts is still connected to the test pipe but the weld holding the flange to the start of the mid pipe is broken. has anyone else had this problem? whats the best way to fix the problem so it does nt happen again?

 

Get it replaced by Magnaflow. I've had mine with no problems for a long time. If the header doesn't have a flex-pipe, that's your problem.

 

no flex pipe same as stock with the spring bolts i cut the springs down as described in the oct 07 sport compact car so the springs wouldnt bottom out

 

Sounds like you just got it. Call Magnaflow up. Their parts don't normally do that.

 

this happened to mee too... only it was on my megan ss test pipe and i dont think i can weld ss .. should have done it right the first time.. rh+esmm

 

I didn't have ESMM and it worked fine. I got a torque dampener but the Magnaflow was taking the engine movement for a couple years before that.

 

As long as you got it from one of their dealers, Im sure it can be replaced.

 

i plan to get a rh... already got a tq dmpener.. that should be alright???.... i just dont want aything to happen again.. besides a rh will accent my T1R catback nicely.. i hope
