Hey everyone,
I'm at a loss on what to do... so I bought a 3" downpipe from berk last year for my 3S-GTE swap. well there was a dirty wield on it and it cracked pretty badly. Le Pix:    here is my problem... I contacted Berk about this in may before I went to Japan for two months, and told them I don't have a second car to drive while I send them the downpipe back to get replated. and at first it sounded like they were willing to send me a new one and I'd send back the old one when I had it installed. it is now turning into the only option I have is to send mine back to be fixed. but I can't do that because then I'd be out of a car for a week or more. and its not as simple as hooking up the old cast iron downpipe because my custom exhaust wouldn't match up to it. so I am generally at a loss on what to do... can anyone give me any advice?

I'm not familiar with the downpipe or how long it takes to remove or install, but is it possible to take it out and get a ride to a shop to weld up the cracks, then reinstall it?
