PDE downpipe:(

PDE Downpipe BROKE!!!

I dont know what to call it so I'll call it a hanger. The piece on my PDE DownPipe cracked where the bolt from the car bolts onto. Now when I hit rocky roads it rattles like crazy. It's the hanger that is welded to the downpipe. If any of you have installed DP you know what i mean theres only one.

Should I get it welded back?...if so where?(BTW I had this downpipe since 05).
or
Should I get a new one?...If so where can i get a PDE again? I'm in love with it and can't find any or any good downpipe feedback. I read the downpipe list from fliz and broke it down to Invidia V3, godspeed, and the Helix. But is helix good? -Catless only-

Pls answer any of these anything will help.

PDE makes some great stuff. There should be no reason to buy another. Weld another bracket on there.

Take it to Exhaust Systems or R&D. No sense in buying another one when you can have that one welded back together.

My haole side recommends welding another bracket, my filipino side recommends polishing the downpipe, then duct taping the **** out of it

I would trust my haole side on this one though

I haven't heard of fusionwerks,

But I go to Exhaust Systems Hawaii in Kailua....Great customer service, and they can take your car in right away. There welds are very clean too!

Do you have the kartboy hangars? I don't even use that piece you mention but my KB hangars keep things nice and steady...no rattle.
