CPS is selling this new "Exhaust Ball Joint Conversion Kit". It's about time for the muffler spring replacement. Anybody using this? If so, what's the verdict so far?

 I like mine fine, but I recommend cutting off all the spring hooks before you put it on.  I also had to use some longer bolts to avoid having to cut any off the ball joint.

I've used them for 5 years now and have been very reliable. They do take some worry out of springs breaking...

I made my own. Here are the ones on the MKIII and on the FSII. With 5/16" bolts, it will take a while to wear through them...

I have 30+ hours on mine...  A lot better than springs in my estimation...  I have stainless bolts and they're wearing...  My best guesstimate is stainless bolt replacement at around 40-50 hours...  No broken springs though...
