Wagner (www.rbwagner.com). From what Ed discovered, the added wall thickness is thick enough to dissipate the heat. The main pipe is thinner as the worst of the heat has been dissipated by the time it gets down that far downstream. He has been running his exhaust system for a long time without any problem. The drawback is that its heavier than thinwall. My 20B exhaust system weighs 20#. Mark S.
