Just a word of warning, my centre section completely failed today as I was on my way travelling to work. Fractured just before the welded joint which connects to the rear back box.

Car is a 2007 Hawk and the centre section as been on just over two years.

Not to happy really as the pipe is over 12 months old so out of warranty, still don't expect this though

Bad luck mate, h&s always make cracking quality stuff, mines been on over two years and touch wood I've had no problems so far.
Saying that though, after fitting their downpipe decat I could hear loads of rattle/chatter/tapping which I just down to it being more open. I think I'm hearing the wastegate as the boost comes in at low revs.

Still paranoid it's a leak even tough I've checked about a million times.

Hmm I've also got a new H&S down pipe waiting to go on and now am really dubious about fitting that

I have a complete system of there's on mine including headers,
must of been fitted for about 4 years and never had a problem with it.
I didnt realise they are only guaranteed for 12 months i thought it was life time.

Well it's coming of the car in the morning and I'll email them some pictures of it and see what they say but I don't hold out much hope having spoke to the retailer I purchased it of today.

But having said that and looking at the web site tonight it would 'appear' you get a 25 year warranty ....... We'll see !!

Just give Ian a call at h&s 01268 726034. He'll no doubt sort it out for you under warranty

By H&S I guess you mean Haywood and Scott ?

I've messed around with my car quite a few years and the Haywood and Scott stuff I have come across and have had fitted has always been very good quality.

Before posting on here have you had a chat with Ian about this ? Forgive my 50 odd year old brain and it's memory but IIRC Wendy sorted out many of the questions that I had (very early de-cat for the then new Bugeye)..

I apologise if you are not called Wendy

+1 I have had the same DP and centre pipe moved from one scoob to another going on 4 years now. Ian is a top fella and makes a great product bespoke or standard fit (I have had both).

Good news, through the retailer who had been acting on my behalf with Hayward and Scott I've received an email of him this morning saying that they will replace it once they've got the failed one back.

So great result and a big thanks to Ian at H&S and Alyn at AS Performance great customer care.

nice one.
they are a great company.
as WRX1981 said... one complaint and one problem out of thousands.
my problem isnt even down to the pipework im guessing its gaskets anyway.
