So I get a call today from Stage 3 Motorports and they siad Roush now wants me to get under and clean off the rust and get a better picture of the cracked welds.. Really???
They told me they were sending me a new set and to return the old ones.. If they were not cracked then how did they get that way, exactly the same on bith ends of the canisters... I'm trying not to let my Blood pressure go up but I'm not getting back under my car and doing that. If i get back under the car I am taking them off and buying a new set, not sure which ones but they wont be ROUSH, thats for sure. They know there is an issue with these and now they are trying to get out of dong the right thing.....

I agree. I bet some people are just trying to get a new set out of it when there's nothing cracked on theirs. Or they've received some back that weren't cracked and only rusty. Bill's a good guy and I'm sure they'll do the right thing for you.

I had my car jacked up this morning to change my rear wheels and they drained a bit again. It seems where I drilled is not the ultimate spot for draining, unless you have a large quantity of water. For the record, it was a minimal amount that came out.
I am ditching the cats very soon. I have already removed the resonators. I am concerned that my already wonderfully obnoxious exhaust system is going to move into the realm of just obnoxious without cats. A muffler change, yet again, may be in my future...or I will have the resonators welded back in.

Got a call from John @ Stage 3 and told me to come and pick up my new set today!! Way to come through Stage 3. Once I get them off I will inspect them further and give them back to Stage 3 so they can send them back. The welds are much more enhanced thats for sure!

OK... I got my set back from BOI and Roush (they worked together on my claim and I actually spoke to Chris at Roush and John via email @ BOI) with only the drivers side being replaced. They cleaned the mild surface rust off the passenger side can and tested it and found no leak. I'm a little miffed they just would not give me a whole new set but it dosn't matter at this point I love my FRPP sport exhaust now and will never buy another Roush product. That being said who wants them for a cheap price you have to pay the shipping.

Take a look at how much water comes out of these things when you are under load. Look at what happens when I start my burnout here, they are literally jetting water out.
