Hey guys,

Now that I realize that it is more than 1 or 2 people with this problem, I decided to make a thread and have everyone who has had their flex pipe/Resonators fail on them chime in.

My story:

3-4 months ago my resonators failed and since I was out of warranty I went ahead purchased two brand new Resonators (which come with flex pipes) from invidia through Amplified Motorsports.

About 1 - 1.5 months ago my Flex pipe started to leak, so I contacted invidia and sent them an email and I believe one to Amplfiied (could have been just Invidia) and asked for a replacement. I didn't receive any response and the fluttery and go kart noise started to get on my nerves so I went ahead and Paid for a replacement at a local exhaust shop.

I feel like this problem is destroy our exhausts resale value and Invidia needs to take the proper steps and Fix this problem or compensate their customers with replacements.

 

you have 1 year warranty on the parts you buy, tell them to replace it. also, its just easier to call them

 

I have had my exhaust for about 5 mnths and both of my flex pipes are loud and nasty . Have to wait 3 weeks for replacements.. It's going to be a long 3 weeks of pure pissed off Honda civic sound..

 

ive had mine for almost a year now and ive had zero problems. what could e the reason why the flex pipe gets messed up?

 

Rain do you have tp?

 

no, im running exhaust only

 

Im thinking the following:

Bad Design - Defect - Faulty craftsmanship.

 

I've talked to them about your problem. I suggest you call them ask for Gordon and bug them again and I will do the same again

It looks like the might have a bad run on passenger side y pipe if people some are having issues. It's not a bad design or bad craftsmanship, the flex pipe is bad

 

Now that I think about it, the flex pipe has gone bad twice I believe on the passenger side, Thank you and I will call them again and send another email.

 

Update:


So far no word from bernard from invidia since october 4th, last emails have gone unanswered and I sent another one tonight. Pretty annoying having to deal with this stupid issue on such a new part..

 

Just drive up to invidia they are in LA area.

 

I had both of mine replaced .. The moved the flex pipes further down the y pipe ...

 

Invida sent me a replacement for one of my leaking flex pipes a few weeks ago with no issues. I will say they do take a little time to respond, but I know they're a busy company.

 

I paid for my replacement flex pipe and got it in 2 days in PA.

 

im getting mine
