They are noticably heavier than an equivalent exhaust made out of
0.065
but,
I am pleased with their performance.  Based on the wear so far, I
expect
never to have to replace the headers for that reason.

Ed have you looked at your sound suppressors inserts lately?. Yvon.

No, Yvon, I have not yet done that.  I plan on doing my annual inspection
this month and will pull the exhaust off and check on the condition (or
whether I even still have inserts) of the inserts.
I'll let you know what I find.

I am currently considering a two input/exhaust spintech muffler similar to
the one Tracy Crook flys (with one input/exhaust) out of 304 rather than the
321.  But, I need to determine how I will hang that muffler before I spend
$245 on one.
