He won't send you a new one, he will repair the one you have now. By the time you have to pay shipping it's cheaper to get someone local to fix it.

 Re: Broke exhaust = Bad Weekend
yall find any exhaust that wont crack let me know  havent came across an exhaust yet that hasnt had issues cracking. went through several crossovers, 2n1's, and i will say this about mb, if its within the 6 month warranty they sent me a brand new one and didnt want the old one back. im currently running a Q with no cracks so far. believe im gonna go the ddm route if the Q dont pan out, gutted stockers!

 Re: Broke exhaust = Bad Weekend
I was bragging about my BPS Q awhile back not cracking after a couple hundred hours.
Had to take it off to pull a head and the flange was broken off. It broke off because when I tore down the engine last year to refurbish the PD Lower unit I didnt put the support brackets back on. My fault for the flange breaking off.
Before I determined why it broke I bitched at MB and guess what. They gave me a brand new Q Muffler no questions asked. This was 18 months after original purchase. They have always took care of me no matter how long issues came up with their products. Dont know about other peoples experiance with them but I cant complain.
They always take care of me.
Now how about MM. Will they do that. Not according to what I am reading.

 Re: Broke exhaust = Bad Weekend
My mm has broken 4 times in +-100 hours of use. Dan fixed it every time but this shit is getting old. I payed more for this exhaust than I did for a stainless magnaflow cat-back for my truck. I had a local welder go over all his welds and now it seems to be holding up better.

 Re: Broke exhaust = Bad Weekend
You guys are gonna learn. Make your own SS for about $100. When it breaks, fix it. If it can't do it again. Fuck paying $550 for something that keeps cracking. If you can't weld, have it all ready and bring it to a welder and your ass still comes out ahead.

 Re: Broke exhaust = Bad Weekend
Well kiss my ass if the other side of the cross bracket didn't break today. I think every part of this son of a bitch as broken at some point! Never again!

 Re: Broke exhaust = Bad Weekend
100 hrs ran thru mine and it never cracked plus a light wire wheel brings it right back to silver. Always liked the mm exhaust. Sucks some are having issues.

 Re: Broke exhaust = Bad Weekend
I still say and will always say fuck paying 550 bones for a little bit of tig welded stainless pipe! All the MM has going is that it sounds good and looks cool...that's it. I can't see how it would increase performance over a gutted stock exhaust. It doesn't provide any kind of scavenging effect like a 2 into 1 setup would. It doesn't help pull air through the engine. Its two pipes coming out of the heads going into one pipe then that pipe goes into another pipe and then out. So basically its 550 bucks to sound cool...I'll keep on rocking my dumb sounding gutted stock exhaust and lose out on the fashion contest.
