Wow! That sounds scary, Lynn! I am glad your Jabiru dealer is sending 

you an new muffler set.

When I installed my Jabiru, I noticed the contrast between the well 

finished, precision tooled engine and the rather ... so-and-so muffler. 

In my case, the welding is holding but I had to shorten two of the 

retaining springs because their attaching points were at different 

placement. It doesn't look like a professional job.

Is your muffler hanging freely or is it touching something like the 

cowling? Could such a thing have created a harmonic in the vibrations 

that started the crack? Just wondering, I don't know much about that 

stuff.



Cheers,

Michel
