I've just returned from a muffler shop after having  the "tail pipe" on my NSI EA81's muffler patched for the third time.  The  fellow at the shop says the problem is due to the fact that the material used in  making it is too thin for the heat being generated.  Obviously the only  stress on that portion of the exhaust is wind generated and what's produced by  heating and cooling.  I seem to recall previous mention of a similar or  perhaps the same problem by others in this group, and was wondering if anyone  had come up with a satisfactory solution.  Does anyone know if the muffler  provided with the Stratus or RAM conversion could be used without  modification?

  

 Thanks

Hi Clem!



I know us turbo Soob guys switched to new exhausts. 

Not sure what the normally asperated ones did.  But

you can contact RAM engines and see what a tuned

exhaust for your engine would cost.

They seem to do pretty well for quality.  You may have

to complete the exhaust from the header out of the

cowl though.  Not sure what they have for it.  I only

see the header in the pics.



The exhausts for the turbo Soobs has a slip joint in

the middle to deal with heat expansion.  I don't know

if this exhaust fits your engine, but, made for the

turbo, it isn't tuned either.  Ours were made in

Wisconsin for about $500.  You might do better with

the one from RAM.

Nice to hear from you, and thanks for your reply.  I've posted an e-mail to 

RAM and also Stratus, but no response so far.  I hope all is well with you, 

and your retirement is going as planned.
