Is a VW catalytic converter covered under Exhaust Emission Warranty?

My catalytic converter is fine, BUT the pipe is defective. It's all one piece, so the whole thing needed replacing. Is the pipe considered part of the converter and therefore covered under warranty? My car is less than 8 yrs / 80,000 miles.Is a VW catalytic converter covered under Exhaust Emission Warranty?

Catalytic converters are federally mandated to be warrantied for 100,000 miles, the pipes are not. In order for the cat to be covered the vehicle has to be experiencing driveabiltiy problems due to its failure, or, the car must fail an emissions test, also specifically due to its malfunction. These were the rules when I was working on cars. If it is just a pipe, some can be repaired or spliced, welded or patched. You need to find a reputable technician whom you trust, or better yet, that you know to look at it before you do anything else.
