Default Flex pipe repair or replace

Hey all,

It's been 10 months since I purchased my Y pipe from beluga racing and there is an exhaust leak at the flex joint. Is this normal? I'm looking for suggestion, If I should buy one of those repair kits or completely get a new one.

Has anyone tried to use beluga 1 year warranty to get a new pipe?

Definitely try & get it warranted; as long as it's not been hit or scraped on anything-They should send you a new one.

First I would try to warranty it if you can as long as you did not damage it or scrap it and it is in the one year warranty period. Beluga Racing has great customer service and cares about their customers they will help you if they can. If you can't warranty it for some reason just purchase a new Y pipe from Beluga Racing and request a discounted price on the part.
