304 wouldn't do that unless it was hella thin, this probably 406 or another 400 series, i have a set of gtm test pipes purchased back in march of 09 and they are still shiny. the scariest thing to me is that the weld was good it was all the tube around the weld that fatigued and broke, meaning weld it back on and it will fail again, also yes they forgot to drill the hole for the j tube before they welded it definitely the cause of the SES light, drill a 3/8 in hole in it into the tube before you weld it back on, or just throw these things out, also a brace to the tube would help too.
