Default Problems with B&B exhaust

I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar situation as me with their B&B exhaust. I installed the bullets on my car a while ago and noticed that both tips on the left side were cracking all the way around the inside of the tip. I contacted B&B, who told me to send them back and they would weld new tips on. I finally got them back on my car and now I noticed that they're starting to crack again in the exact same spots. This means that they did not weld new tips, they somehow filled in the cracks. To make matters worse, I got out of my car tonight and noticed that the right side was hanging really low. When I looked underneath the car, the metal hanger, which is welded onto the exhaust pipe, somehow broke off. Has anyone had this happen with this exhaust or am I the only one?

If I send them back again, that will be over $100 spent in just shipping the exhaust since they will only pay shipping one way.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just frustrated.

Haven't had any problems with mine in over five years of ownership. I would think that they would offer to reimburse you for all of the shipping with the problems you are having.

I had a hanger break off after about 10 months of owning them. I contacted B&B and they sent me new hangars but I had to weld it on myself.
