Default magnaflow problems?

has anyone had any problems with there magnaflow catbacks on your ls1 cars?

i had my 98z up in the air the other day and i found a hole that i could stick my finger straight into. it was just before the hanger on the over the axle pipe. i didnt think that kid of thing would happen to this but than again i dont know how old the system is either.

no its not a puncture. it looks like it rotted out the one spot. as far as i know its stainless but i dont have a warranty on it because i didnt purchase it. it was on the car when i got it.

i have one on my 02 z28 and i had no problems at all.. sounded really nice and wasnt to loud.. im probably going to sell it though due to the fact it wont work with the new header and y pipe im running now

even if u dont have proof of purchase call and complain.. i would think with a company as big as them they would do something.. stainless steel should NOT RUST!!!! thats where u have them.. take pictures and email them to the company and see if they reply...
