Default Invidia cracking

My invidia n1 exhaust recently started to crack on the axle back piece, right around where it says invidia on the back. Does anyone know if the exhaust carries a warranty or what I should do in this case.

No I didn't hit anything. Cars not even lowered.

Mine has done this several times. It's a hairline crack going down either size of the invidia logo. Just pay a shop $20 to TIG weld it back. Do not mig or arc weld unless you want rust.

Yes exactly what mine is doing on both sides. I called Invidia and I guess they carry a 1 year warranty but mine is out of that. They want $150 plus shipping for a new y pipe. Pretty expensive in my opinion.

The Muffler Shop of Columbia. You have to watch them do it. Some of the guys there are dumb and will mig weld instead to tig if you let them. It's one of the few shops in cola that has a tig welder.

These exhausts were tig welded from the factory. By repairing it with a tig weld, it will look just as it did as it was new.
