I blew out my stock DP just like that. Luckily, a friend of mine has a spare stock SS/SC DP i can borrow till my ZZP mid-length header/DP gets here.

Its a crappy single wall design flex pipe. most likely, it's blowing out due to excessive engine movement that the flex joint can't handle. As soon as i installed my buddy's stock DP till i get my new header/DP, i threw in a set of solid tranny mounts to try to help.

it sounds like **** when that happens. sorry to hear about this happening to someone else.
mine did it about 4 months ago. its definitly a weak point of the car. grab a longtube header and a d/p. fix the problem, and gain hp.

:

i'd post a pic of mine, but photobucket is down right now.
