I had a failure similar to this on my 2005 RK's rear pipe with Rineharts.
I believe the issue stemmed from a combination of things.
Exhaust flanges too tight- My bad....
A less that optimum tune causing a rough idle- again, my bad...
and sloppy muffler mount rubbers and maybe motor mounts.

Man oh man, if not for bad luck you would not have any.
So sorry for the Sh-- you are going through. When I saw the first picture my mind went immediately to stress. Lack of proper expansion etc.
I am thinking Fuel Moto pipes are looking better all the time. This cannot be the first event with these pipes, as others have issues Rhinehart will have no choice but to dig deeper into this issue.
Good luck with your quest, hoping they will come around and help you.

Roadflyer - That sucks Boss! Did the crack(s) take place along the weld (o2 sensor)?
Reason I ask is because another post said something similar in regard to the rigid mounted engine causing the friction/vibration which in-turn forced the break.
I would then turn to HD for the design of the rubber-mounted engine with which theyve been producing for years paired with numerous exhaust systems.
As for the torque spec on the exhaust flange - 100-120in lbs as per the TM.
Not trying to throw-out excuses, just getting the details and facts of this particular incident.

2005's don't have O2 sensors, so, no the crack didn't start there.
