<DIV>The only thing I could add to Nat's statement is that in my exhaust set-up the pipe is also <U>soft mounted</U> on a single Lord mount. Same location as Nat. Been doing that for at least the last 10 years and have never had a failure in any exhaust component in a 2 stroke powerplant. Really don't remember the last time a coupler blew either, but then again I don't fly as much as many do.</DIV>

With soft mounted engines I have never had a header failure with a single
pipe support placed about 1/2 to 1 inch behind the CG of the pipe/coupler.
