Wow! .065 thick 321 and it still broke in only four hours. Hard to believe.
Must have been a defective weld or he cantilevered the entire ridged exhaust 
system off the flange with no braces and it vibrated at a sympathetic
resonant frequency. Either that or that PowerSport PP 13B is one powerful 
motor :)

Tracy got 650 hours out of this .035 thick SS muffler.
