Racing Beat exhaust tip cracks

today i decided to polish up my 2 year old Racing Beat exhaust. during the process i found my left side tip to have stress cracks. i'm assuming this is because of the high temperatures the rotary produces. anyone have any experience on this?? i love this exhaust and don't really have any plans on changing it. maybe Racing Beat can warranty it for me...

I would assume Racing Beat would work something out with you. I've had Racing Beat exhausts over 7 years old, still in perfect (aside from a bit of rust) condition..

You could always replace the tips... that would also have the advantage of installing double-walled tips that won't turn yellow. Cheaper than a full new exhaust.
