Yikes, another new project to address on the car. Has anyone ever seen this before? I don't even understand how it would fail like this given the loads it should be supporting.

Vrooooom!

Tough weekend on the car - I also had the muffler crack and fail. This is two stories underground in my office parking garage. All concrete, 3.6, and NO muffler.

Ive seen a camber plate fail in a similar manner, I dont know the mfg though

Lightweight muffler...

upgrade to the tarett front monoballs

i really dont see WHY they would crack..... but man.... thats a fatty crack

Huge pot hole bottoming out the suspension did it to one on mine.

Steve,
I have these on bluecar. One of my fears (after-purchase of course) was that they may fail because they are a cast part.
One of the billet pieces or a forged piece (if they exist) would probably be a better choice.

i really like the Wevo CamberKing monoball housing. investment-cast stainless, good stuff. i'm told they're available without the 911 strut brace mounts but i haven't investigated.

took a while to find the pictures i knew had been posted here, but they are in This Thread halfway down the second page.

I notice the car is very low. I assume koni's with cut-down or possibly no bump stops? Could this be from bottoming the shock?

Awesome looking car by the way.

Very nice teener. Orange is one of my favorites! Looks great with Fuchs. 3.6 very, very cool.....

Ouchy! Happens.

I agree on billet vs cast for that lil booger.. and wow dood! BAD_ASS_RIDE!

The muffler scrape on the ground a few times?

Just point those elbows down at the ends of the headers and all will be fine.

Dont these type of products, because of the elimination of cushening rubber, transfer higher than normal loads on the chassis and are therfore a real compromise for a primarily street driven car?
