Default New Corsa muffler disintegrated

I've had a Corsa catback for about a year and a half. A few months after I got FLP longtubes sans cats, the exhaust started rasping. Which subsequently turned into an annoying rattling. Just about two months ago the muffler broke at the point where it attaches to the exhaust pipe. So I get a new one under warrantee and it has started rattling within THREE WEEKS. WTF! It's on it's way to falling apart too. Very disappointing. The tips on the catback are great but the quality of everything else is apparently pretty poor. I have to ask if anyone else is having these issues? Are there any mufflers out there that will fit my existing setup that will stand up to not running cats? I can keep getting replacement mufflers as long as I own the car but it sounds like crap now and I don't want to constantly fix this issue.
