J-pipe problem

2005 Tl intake 5at intake manifold swap and tsudo jpipe with dynomax resonator. Sounds like a serious exhaust leak but I can't find any signs of a leak? Suggestions?

I take it the only repair is to replace it? I put it on literally 3 months ago?

they (tsudo) may cover it under warranty, but it's relatively inexpensive to fix at any local muffler shop. Cost me about $40 bucks all said and done

As dot mentioned, it is often the flex pipe that fails on the J-Pipes. Our J-Pipe uses high quality U.S. sourced materials, and outlasts the competition.

Exactly, which is why I'm concerned about the ATLP installed J-pipe which has no hanger, nor has a solution been provided for owners of the V2-R from Heeltoe. It's been nearly seven months with no resolution for the lack of the mounting hardware.

Really wish I had gone another route with my j-pipe choice...

The admins should limit him from pandering that j-pipe until the hangar issue is resolved imo.
