Any cracking issues w/ Fast Intentions HFC's or Berk HFC's?

With all the cracking issues I've read about with test pipes...with hangers, without hangers, I purchased a set of Titek test pipes that did come with hangers and they cracked in less than a month at the hanger weld.

Does anyone have issues w/ cracking of HFCs at all?

dunno, but my kinetix tp for the z held up like a champ for years and there was a warranty with it as well. I'd ask them if they have a warranty..

My FI Metallic Cats haven't given me any troubles thus far. They've been on for about 10 months, now.

ahero: what exhaust are you running? Apparently Fuji and Nismo mated to test pipes cause cracks more often.

Nismo and Fuji are notorious for cracking HFC's, testpipes and manifolds. We do have a few that have the Fuji - we've heard of no problems though. It's been months and months too.

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier. I'm currently pairing my cats with HKS.

Well, I'm in process of replacing my Titek test pipes that cracked. Getting a replacement set. I'm planning on keeping my Fuji exhaust, so I'm very hesitant on putting another set of test pipes on. Anymore Fuji/Nismo owners want to chime in?

I have had great success with the BERK HFC's. Never seem to have an issue. However i have had issues with some cheapy tawain stuff. Cracks at the welds. Also soon to come is the 2007 350z and 2007 G37.
