Default Sheared 3 inch Mongoose down pipe (S2)...

Hello all.

My 3 inch Mongoose system on my S2 is 5 years and approximately three and a half thousand miles old and recently sheared off completely (in the metalwork, not at a join) just below the turbo as I accelerated hard in second gear.

There's about 3/4 of an inch of metal left bolted to the turbo and the rest is just sitting on the rubbers. It broke almost cleanly in a near perfect circumference of the pipe, and with no warning.

I have no paperwork to confirm the age of the system or date of sale.

Does anyone know where I stand as far as any kind of warranty or manufacturers good will is concerned, if any?

And is this a common problem?

Have any of you folks suffered similar breakages?

I can't seem to find an address for Mongoose. It would appear that Collins are the sole distributors, is this correct?

Finally, if I haven't a leg to stand on and anyone's got a mint down pipe same as above for sale, i'd appreciate a shout

Thanks in advance for your input
