I have a full Kooks system and everything seems to be okay except the section between the X-pipe and the muffler. It appears that one of the hangers broke off leaving a hole. This also caused the pipe to drag and wore a hole in the pipe. My question is; does anybody know if Kooks sells just this section or should I try and have it welded up. (first attempt at uploading pics and it worked)

Give them a shout in the morning. If you're the original owner they may send a replacement piece at little or no cost to you.

An update for those interested. I contacted Kooks and was able to get the part covered under warranty. It took quite a bit of back and forth but overall I'm happy with the way it was handled in the end. Can't wait to get the system installed on my car. I am however wondering if the flat spot on the underside/lowest part is necessary for clearance since the replacement doesn't have this flat spot. considered taking a dead blow to it but don't know if its completely necessary yet. Any advice?
