That's a first I've seen! Let me make sure the factory / MattP sees this and, we can go from there.
use them as reference, its already welded and back on the bike it was race weekend.
I see. Did you cut the pipe? There's one spot that looks like the metal was torn, probably the location where one of the initial tack welds was done, but the rest looks like a cut, and it traditions from one side of the weld to the other. It's just a strange looking failure. Usually when a TIG weld fails from lack of penetration you'll still have some melt, otherwise it would just fall apart as soon as you lifted the part off the table or out of the jig.
I'm just trying to figure out what the pink lines on it were for. I'm guessing for alignment reference. Just trying to determine what all happened, and when, so I can best understand the nature of the failure.

no cutting at all, it happened mid session. the pink lines was to get it re welded on the right spot so it stayed in the original shape and the exhaust would fit again.
