Be advised..

Wow, that's a little scary. I would not want to be following someone's line and plow over an exhaust component. Was it just the insert or one of the full pieces like the flanged turndowns?

It was an insert that I literally had to hammer into place, and then riveted!

I was shocked it came out. The vibration forced the rivets to fail, then the insert shook out. I used 4 alum rivets, steel rivets would have been much better.
