Congrats to Joe for getting home safe, and thanks for the reports.


From the pictures of his exhaust system, it appears that the pipes were supporting the muffler can.  My understanding, is that the entire exhaust will glow red, and the metal will soften (as in almost melt) at high power settings.

The idea, is to support all components, so that they will not move when they soften.
I think that I got that from Tracy Crooks writing.
