The H&S pipe now has a crack in it, and H&S is refusing to warranty it. For the price of the factory pipe at $70, and not having any better luck with an expensive aftermarket pipe (the H&S in particular), I'm about to just buy 2 factory pipes and just keep one on hand for when it blows. Anyone have any better ideas, or which aftermarket pipe has the best track record?

I never asked you but exactly where did that H&S crack at, the hose itself or the metal piece?

Right about the middle facing the rear of the truck, the silicone is split lengthwise.

Is there a particular place or website you purchase parts from? Looking up there are a number of locations for AutoNation Ford Parts.
