Durability of After Market Exhausts: 75 TS

["Masters, David DJ" <Masters.David.DJ@domain.elided>]

Fellow Digesters,

Once again I have to replace the middle section of the exhaust on my ALFA75 Twin Spark.  It seems like a yearly event.  The SO does lots of short runs with the kids.

To date I have been happy with aftermarket components that appear to have been made on the same jigs on the same production line as the factory components.  For some reason I am now questioning their durability.  The middle sections are rusting out on the back just above the roll join, and the back section of exhaust rusts out on the front, all around the pipe.

Would anyone care to recommend an exhaust brand?  Has anyone tried drilling a hole to let the water out?  My wallet thanks you in advance.

Cheers,
david

ALFA75 Twin Spark, rather noisy.
