    Dave, I'm told by STEBRO that this is normal for the type of stainless 
steel used.  The Muffler body and tailpipe are the same 409 stainless.
    From the technical specification on my STEBRO/Vanagon Stainless Steel 
Muffler webpage, <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/stebro.htm">Vanagon 
STEBRO products</A>, .....>"Stainless steel construction throughout with the 
shell, inlet pipe and tail pipe�made from 14ga 409 and the baffles, connector 
flange, and hanger from 14ga 304"

    Thanks for the report Dave.  I've added it to my <A 
HREF="http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/reviews.htm">Muffler Reviews</A> page.

Cheers
