Flex Pipe breaking

brianx42 · 08-24-2017, 02:44 PM

Hello,

So my flex pipe on my Beluga y pipe broke. I currently have the AAM TP + Beluga Y pipe + Beluga Catback. Did my flex pipe break because I didn't put on the lower trans cat mount brace when I installed my test 3 months ago? I only had my Y pipe and Catback for 10 months.

I'm not sure if my flex pipe broke because I didn't put on my lower trans brace when I installed my test pipe or Beluga y pipes are complete garbage.

Would love to hear some feedback!

It probably has more to do with the manufacturer than the brace.

Hm.. that's what I figured. Any recommendations? What would you do?

Get it welded back up at a local muffler shop?
