Cross over pipe broke away from manifold flange
Hi, has anyone seen or come across anyone that has had the cross over pipe break away from the flanges? I was driving today when all of the sudden the exhaust got really loud. I pulled over and saw that the cross over pipe broke away from the driver side flange. Seems like it broke away just past the weld which usually indicates a vibration issue. Only thing is I have poly engine/trans mount and I don't feel any vibration at any rpm. Runs really smooth. I might fix it and over build it with a better bellow, double wall pipe at the flange and add more "gussets". I emailed the vendor to see what he says. Turbo kit is about 5 years old but only put around 1k miles on it. Info- 1995 C1500, 6.0, 76mm turbo

Yea I didnt even know it was leaking before but my exhaust is somewhat loud so it would've been hard to notice. I'm going to fix it myself since I have a tig welder at work. Gonna add more filler at the flanges and put 3 gussets per flange instead of one. Id rather go overboard so that this kinda problem wont happen again.
