Motiv Front Pipe

Soooo I've had the Motiv Concepts High Flow Cat front pipe installed on my car for about 2 years now (put on by exhaust shop) On my way to work yesterday my car all of a sudden got SUPER loud. I pulled over to check and wouldn't ya know it, my front pipe broke. No idea why it happened but I'm gonna have a muffler shop weld it back tomorrow. I've never seen one break where it did

That's weird. It almost looks like it's been cut. Did you contact Motiv?

It definitely wasn't cut. It just broke pretty seamlessly. I debated on contacting them but it's been a long while and I don't know that it's worth the effort

Give them a call. The worst that can happen is that will say no.

That's odd, it broke so uniformly. Seems like there was some kind of constant pressure on the pipe probably during installation?

Anyhow, I've been wanting this Motiv FP for YEARS. How do you like it, are you all stock other than the FP?

Man I've got a full exhaust. I couldn't tell you if it made any difference on its own. Idk how it broke though
