Guys, please use your brains.
Like all consumer goods, you are going to hear ONLY about the bad, and seldom about the good. Out of the thousands of HKS exhausts they sold, yes, some of them cracked, and some rusted.
Mine has been on my car for 4 years now, driven through winters, salt, snow, rain, dry summer heat, whatever. It still looks brand new. There is no damage of any sort. I am sorry that the OP is having a problem with his exhaust, but saying it's a POS it simply untrue. All exhausts can crack, and this one is no exception.

My exhaust was about 3.5 years old and it looks like an antique...I suppose the weather in the DC area didn't help because it's humid all the time and the winters see a lot of salt/sand, etc...but I had a beater Xterra and now have a CRV. It's not like the thing is driven off road. On top of this, the car has been garaged for the last 1.5 years but I suppose the real damage was done during the first 2 years.

With my SC and the HKS, my car sounds MEAN. HKS sound FTW!
I guess I just wanted to whine.

I love my HKS, even when it cracked at the elbow. No biggie to get it welded.......and that was 3+ years ago. Been fine since. I've probably put about 95k miles on this exhaust, and I bought it used!!!
HKS is fine.
