Subject:Fix for Stebro Muffler Bracket breaking?
From:Max Wellhouse
Date:Wed, 27 Dec 2006 17:39:28 -0600

Dear Listees:  Has anyone that bought one of Mr. Condelli's Stebro
Stainless steel mufflers had trouble with the thin brackets cracking
where it's welded to the muffler?  Mine has separated from the
muffler on the passenger side bracket which is likely over-stressing
the driver's side bracket.

Question number two:  Is there some advice on how to repair this
either on the vehicle or removing it.... is a beefier bracket going
to help or is the thin nature of the original there to allow some
movement unlike the factory brackets.  If welding is involved, which
type of welding wire/rod should be used with this type of stainless steel?

Thanks in Advance,

DM&FS
