i just found a thread from back in november with a member having the same problem. invidia sent him a new pipe and 2 weeks later it broke in the same place again. both times on the passenger side, mine is in the same place.

Yeah, I just saw you found that page too.

I dunno, I'd say there's probably a reason most aftermarket exhausts aren't using a flex pipe.

You could probably go to a custom exhaust shop and have a straight pipe made, but I just think thats a rretty shitty attitude from a vendor to make you go fix a problem thats now consistent with their product.

Was it the Vendor who replaced it, or Invidia?? I'd PM that OP and ask him who he dealt with, get names and numbers... That way you can call them too and get the same resolution. If you got yours through a different Vendor, it might not work out the same though.

i messaged him. but imo invidia should stand by their product regardless, they offer test pipes and hfc's so it shouldnt matter if thats what made the part fail and it shouldnt matter what vendor it came from.

True, just saying that the Vendor would be your route to Invidia. Not that the vendor should cover the replacement, just be your voice to them. And yeah, if they make Test Pipes, I would really hope they'd understand the difference that's gonna make on their exhaust...

Sounds like someone just effed something up when they made the passenger side of flex pipes... This is too consistent a problem on the same side to be a coincidence.
