Thanks Al, I agree it seems awful thin. However, I
will be using it downstream of the Turbo (and after a foot of 321 pipe).
I want to use it to absorb vibration, movement and expansion on the way to
the new muffler that I am installing (flowmaster).
If I get 200 hrs out of it between replacement, I
would consider that a success. Although I may want to think of a new way
to attach it rather than having to weld it on every 200 hrs. Something
like this clamp may be an option:
The turbo would certainly remove most
pulse stress, and drop the temps; so could be fine. Yes, I think 200
hours would be a success – I don’t expect the .065“ 321 SS internals
of my secondary muffler to last that long.
Nice clamps. Maybe that and some
of that exhaust repair stuff that comes in a tube to seal things up.
Best,
Al
