Hey all,
I got some mileage out of my new Cobra this last week at the dream cruise (I'll post graduation photos as soon as I get some nice ones). I'm running a Coyote with the FFR J-pipes and unfortunetly had to cut my weekend short due to a crack that developed in the J-pipe on the drivers side. I'm not certain what caused it, it's possible that some kid decided to step on my side-pipe when I wasn't looking, but most likely it happened because of fatigue. Since the entire side pipe is supported from only the manifold donut and the small braket in the back, there is a lot of moment where the side pipe exists the body, my guess is that the wonderful Michigan roads I was driving on bounced the side-pipe enough to cause this crack to develop. Obviously, I'll be replacing the J-pipe, but I'm also going to support the end of the J-pipe where it attaches to the side pipe using an exhaust hanger on each side of the car. I'll post final picks when I have it done, as I have to assume everyone running this equipment is eventually going to have this same problem if the exhaust system isn't supported better.
Anyways, the purpose of my post is:
1). Has anyone else had this issue? If so , how did you fix it and did the fix work?
2). If you're building your car now, you might want to plan for an exhaust hanger on the end of the J-pipe before the body is on and it gets tight in there.
