I agree. The system has broken in the same place both times. My theory is that it is the weight of the tailpipe hanging off the muffler. It applies a torque on the joint at the other end of the muffler causing the pipe to deteriorate quickly. Now that the pipe is broken, the muffler and tailpipe have twisted so that the end of the pipe is almost dragging on the ground. I think the tail pipe should have its own hanger so it does not torque the rest of the system. Thats just my theory though. I might try to rig up some kind of hanger.
I just bought a 2 inch pipe union. I am going to try to splice them back together. The muffler and the rest of the stupid pipe look almost brand new.
