About a month ago, I realized that there was a noise coming from the middle of my car. It sounded like an exhaust leak. I used ramps to look under the car, and the system looked fine. I noticed that the gasket behind the resonator looked burnt, so I replaced it. It was still leaking. I took it to an exhaust shop, and looked at it under a lift. There it was apparent that there was a crack around the entire weld where the resonator meets the pipe. The weld at the front of the resonator was also starting to crack.

I have never abused this system, and it has ZERO physical damage. The welds simply are failing.
I have been to 3 different shops, and none will attempt to fix it... They have all said that the metal of the resonator is too thin to be welded.

What should I do? Do you think there is any way that 5zigen will help me out with this?
I need to replace the pipe after the Catalytic converter (the one with the inline resonator).

 

ya I would contact 5zigen any company in the right mind should be able to help you out, as long as you can prove there is really no other physical damage or what not..give it shot there is nothing you can lose!!

 

i am a dealer for them.... i would definately contact them about it (worse case scenario is they won't replace) they are a good company and are easy to work w/.

Do you have any contact info for them?
I sent an email to the 5zigenus.com wbsite, but is there a better person to contact?

Any help is greatly appreciated...

My exhaust sounds like total *** right now, and I think that in a little while the resonator is going to fall OFF the car!
