The "collar" into which the exhaust header tube is held with springs, has broken the weld most of the way around where it attaches to the silencer box. There are other broken small welds where the other header tubes get inserted. Throughout the 300 hours total in the air since the silencer was first installed, the carburettors have been kept electronically balanced and the Airmaster propeller is also well balanced. The silencer was suspended with utmost care to avoid strains as the flange nuts got tightened, making sure to tighten the telescopic joint in #1 header tube last. I'll probably have to replace the whole exhaust system. This topic is just FYI.
