Default CME Tips Cracked

the weld between my CME tips cracked and I cant find any one to fix or weld them in san antonio. Any suggestions? I was thinking cutting off the center peace that connects the two and have the welder weld a brace behind the tips to hold them togeter.

If your under 36k miles they are covered under warranty. A coulple of guys have had this same problem. Page ssheets on this board he had his replaced and had them polished before reinstalling them. Slp covers them for 3 years and 36k just like the factory warranty. I have been fortunate that mine have held up to 2 years and 19k so far.

My wife spun my SS off the road and busted the center brace. I pull the bells off, took them to a welding shop, and had them weld on a flat bar on top of the bells as well as the actual repair to the brace. Cost me $25. Anyone who welds aluminum can do this.

Of course, if you are under warranty......

Yeah if they were damaged in an accident warranty wouldn'nt do you any good, and I am glad you found someone to fix yours for a resonable price, but if they just broke with no external force/reason they should be covered

Absolutely correct. I know of others who have had successful warranty claims.
