HKS Ti exhaust on G35 Coupe a/t issue

I have been driving with the HKS Ti exhaust for 3 years with no issue. However, I have been driving on rough road in recent months.

Last night I noticed the rear left side of the exhaust got much louder, almost sounds like the WRX STi exhaust. At first i thought it's because the cold weather, but its the same in this morning. Any of you guys have experience on this? Is it a leak? Loosen part?

Updated: Found out there is a BIG crack/chip missing in the Mid-pipe. **** road construction!!!!

Put the car on jack stands and get under there with the engine running. Inspect the flanges, check any dings or dents. Is the car running differently?

Exhaust hanger broke off? I'm pretty sure I have seen a thread or two about that happening with HKS exhausts pretty recently, you might want to search it up. I think the consensus was to have HKS warranty it (not sure if their warranty covers your 3 years) or take it to a muffler shop and have it welded. I think people mentioned they wouldn't warranty if you attempted to have it repaired.

If you have warranty, contact HKS maybe they can send you out replacement parts. I suggested you go to a muffler shop They can hook you up with a repair!

Good Luck!
