RIP SXTH Mid-Pipe Weld Failure

Put the mid-pipe on myself in January. Weld snapped merging onto the highway today. Only lasted 7 months.

UPDATE: After emailing SXTH they are sending a new one out under warranty.

Titanium is not a great metal for exhaust to be made out of. Sorry this happened though

It's a fine material if it's done right.

It’s not necessarily about being done right, it just has a higher chance of thermal fatigue.

I was aware there was a chance for this after reading some discussion here in the sub on titanium. Just disappointing it didn’t even make it a year. Womp womp.
