This happen to my friends Master Turbo T70.
His problem was due to the downpipe and midpipe, being supported only by the muffler hangers.
The exhaust system weighted too much for the flange and it cracked.
He had a shop weld it, but had to be redone, since the V-band would not fit.
In the end, it was fixed, but the welds look like a monkey took a crap on it. LOL
