Look like the top tube has soot deposit, evident of an exhaust leak through the welds

Sure does look that way.

In addition, it looks like a crappy weld job ....... unless it was just to be tacked .....

Another angle. Will be contacting Borla for warranty. Pretty pissed off about this. The welds are very shitty; now the picture is misleading as the actual weld is really from the inside of the pipe to the flange, as shown here:
