    Mine cracked 3 times around the number 1&2 stack at the muffler as yours has.welded it up three time, seems like third time is the charm.don,t forget to purg the inside with an inert gas before you start welding to get a good weld inside and out.

    Thanks for the heads-up Scott. You can bet I will be keeping close watch on mine-250 hours now.

    Looks almost like mine at 60 hours. Mine was non repairable, so a new muffler was purchased. Hope this one last a lot longer.
