Default broken N1 exhaust....

Whats up...i just had a 4 month old N1 catback installed on the coupe a week ago...today i hear a leak and it turns out the welds broke at the spot where it welds the pipe to the bacl of the muffler!! how does something like this happen??I was just owndering if it would be a simple thing for a muffler shop to fix? what could have caused it to break like that? thanks!
