Still though if it happens again invidia needs to use a higher quality flex joint.. looking on other forums and searching the flex joint issue seems to be a semi common occurance. Thats what the flex joint is there for.. to flex from the vibration and movement of the engine if it keeps breaking because of that whats the point.
yeah its pretty clear that with enough abuse it cracks. I broke 2 driving normally simply because I didn't have that bracket. so far its holding up good but im worried about when I take it to the track or the extra stress from the super charger. if it brakes again ill likely have a shop weld in some custom flex joints.

The funny thing is there was no abuse.. I literally didnt even have the exhaust 1 month.. and there was no abuse
