Additional reinforcements and a bail inside to make sure that no blockage can happen in the future. Quick turnaround.

"Let's see, we can repair it if we replace everything except that tab. Ok, sign off the repair. Well, that tab doesn't look good, let's repair it again. New sign-off. Done."
Just a theory. I don't really care, they do a great job.

Everything but the data plate. Then replace that afterwards for good measure.

My A&P was also not very impressed with my original muffler, made by Aero Fabricators, apparently (?) AKA Wag-Aero....

Re: Exhaust Cracked recommendations & interior cable reroute.
If you ask them to build you a muffler with said reinforcements it is then an owner produced part and can be brand new zero time.
I had them build my entire system for the O-360 install that way. By having slight changes it wasn't something that could be purchased through a vendor selling PMA'd parts.

Re: Exhaust Cracked recommendations & interior cable reroute.
Quick clarification needed... if it is sent out and repaired, does that reset the 1000 hour AD, or does it have to be new? I’m sure this is clarified somewhere, but I must have missed it.

Re: Exhaust Cracked recommendations & interior cable reroute.
Repaired units do not qualify for a reset to the 1000 hour AD

Darn it. I had a feeling that was the case. Thank you.

Re: Exhaust Cracked recommendations & interior cable reroute.
I had a Wag Aero muffler crack on the end in about 150 hours. I bought a new muffler from Chief aircraft and it is made completely different and for the last 350 hours no issues.

Re: Exhaust Cracked recommendations & interior cable reroute.
I have sent mine to dawley looking forward to getting this fixed as there was significant signs of rubbing. That brings me to the next question. The shield has been rubbed through Univair wants $616.00 for that cover any other place to acquire one a little less expensive? Have any of you detailed the header pipes by polishing them? I'm a nut for cleanliness and thought something I could do while I'm waiting for parts to get back to my guy. Thanks
