Lynn,

OK, now I see what you're talking about with the thin band around the main
muffler can.  Would that even be necessary if they had used your slip-fit
joints near the ports?  That's what I did which should allow enough movement
to prevent cracking of the main muffler canister.  We'll have to wait and
see on that.

Personally, I'm not too crazy about the perforated pipes.  Seems they would
take the brunt of the exhaust energy.
