I wanted to check and see if anyone else has had an issue with the stainless steel exhaust breaking
Mine cracked and broke at the flare where the muffler starts
Thanks

Mine broke on my Mrk IV roadster passenger side, Coyote 5.0. Turns out that under heavy acceleration the twist in the motor was enough to crack the weld at the flare on the J pipe at the output of the shorty header. Turns out where the side pipe exited the body there was not enough clearance keeping the pipe from moving freely with the motor. Just had it repaired by my local welding shop cost $35. Hopefully this helps.
Hotrodder427 (My Pal Donny From My Hometown of Slidell) had his drivers side crack where the turn out meets the muffler.

I contacted factory five this morning and they are going to send me a replacement
It’s hard to believe this level of customer support
Many thanks to Dave Smith and the folks at Factory Five

I've been repeatedly surprised with how quick they step up when there's a problem. Customer service you won't find anywhere else.
