M&M / FVD exhaust failure for GT4 CS
I have a 2016 GT4 Clubsport and recently decided to upgrade my exhaust to a full race set up. After taking the recommendation of my highly reputable race shop out of Chattanooga, I decided to go the M&M / FVD route. Unfortunately after 3 hours of usage the muffler had a complete failure and ripped a whole throughout. My race shop went ahead and ordered another assuming that M&M / FVD would warranty the part as it had such little use. To our surprise, and after communicating with M&M / FVD directly, they decided not to offer a warranty as they claimed that the failure did not happen completely along the seam of the muffler.
Obviously this has been an extremely frutrating situation to which they offered me a mere $150 credit. I get that race car parts and warranties are a different animal all together however this part only had 3 hours of usage, was used completely at DE events, and the muffler had a date stamp that was less than 3-4 months old.
Regardless, my race shop ate the labor but I really feel that M&M / FVD should have better service and wanted to share with this community. Please see pics attached.

That should not have happened. Its metal fatigue and or a problem when the muffler case was rolled and formed. OPEN it up and lets LOOK inside.
