I went to the auto parts store and bought a chrome tailpipe extension (about six to eight in. long) just like the one I put on the tailpipe on my 1940 Ford back in high school (1955). It had just a bit of a deflection on the upper edge. It might have cost $5.00 or less. I have had no further problems 800 Tach hours later. Works good, lasts a long time. I've replaced it once.
