My dump tube broke off today on an off ramp. It broke right at the flange. That was a pretty long walk back to find it. Once I get the car in the air again I'll post pictures. I assumed the vband had failed but once I found the pipe it had snapped off at the flange. I assume the clamp is still on there. I haven't contacted ptuning yet. I'm gonna wait till I get under there and see what happened.

Yeah, it's to atmosphere. I wish it had some sort of support brace on it. It's not really that long or heavy so I didn't think it needed it.

Was your dump tube contacting the down pipe, or the frame rail at all? Either could cause it to crack.

Once you have a nice quality weld on it, make sure there's wiggle room so the dump tube isn't touching anything and it will be fine. There's no need for bracing, the thing hardly weighs anything at all. The issue is either the dump tube contacting something, or a shitty weld.
