I was thinking since one of the welds cracked and decided to go bye bye, the other side will go as well soon. So I just ordered another set. I do have to state that I'm running a backfire tune on the car which makes the car pop/bang and shoot flames at times when I'm feeling to cook some rice.

Naw you're good you don't have to say anything about a tune. Yeah, you could have saved some money. Fix the ones you have and sell the ones you just bought. Even $30 cheaper a forum member would eat it up. Lose the $60 between fixing the test pipes. (I'd reweld both, those 02 spacers are heavy) and selling at a discount and save yourself the install. Just a thought. I'd even throw a thicker weld on the newer ones....or you'll see the same situation in a year w that spacer.
