Apparently I was mistaken when I thought they'd said they WOULDN'T replace my pipe again, they actually meant they wouldn't want to keep giving me pipes likely to fail, and outlined several other options.
First some back story: Apparently there have been a VERY high failure rate of the Prima exhausts for the Vespa GT's. All of them are failing with a broken upper weld just like mine. Scooterworks returned/is returning all the pipes to the company who makes them(Apparently not NCY, but I missed who they actually said it was) with orders to revise the design across the board. It was mentioned also that a lawsuit might be pending over this...
So they said if it failed again, there'd be other options. A: They'd refund the money and I could find an alternative. B: I could wait till they revise the pipe design and I could get a new one hot off the presses. Or C: I could see if the carbon fiber generic GY6 pipe would fit, and they could exchange for that one.
So it looks to be a much happier ending that I'd feared.
