Crack looks stress related not pipe failure....

Indeed... but saying that the whole bikes not exactly feather weight! Laughing

You have to becareful fitting exhausts as its easy to put tension on them, and with the continual heating and cooling, along with the running vibration will easily cause stress related fractures... which that one looks like.
