Failure zone makes sense.
The pipe is a long lever arm and the greatest load would be right where it failed.
The stock surf pipe has a hydro foil around it.
Haven’t spent much time thinking about the hydrofoil flange, but my assumption is that it counters the loading or dampens vibration.

I was looking for one on my SL. Priced the aftermarket and talked to my buddy at the dealer. My buddy's response about 2-3 months ago" "buy a stock one".
Didn't think much about it until more of these stories were popping up on social media this summer.
I'm sure the stock ones have some issues too . . .2018 Supra SL400

Wow..not good. I had mine crack and sent it back to be repaired. I told them that he really need to gusset the pipe around the flange but they said it wasn’t necessary. I’m a mechanical engineer (with a design patent), what would I know?
Repaired unit is holding up fine so far. I kept my stock outlet......just in case.

I’m not a mechanical engineer. But IMHO, the Transom is a shamefully weak design and the Moment arm of that pipe is way too much. I noticed this when I installed it, but thought that maybe the drag was lower that I thought it would be and that these folks had it all sorted out.

I experienced the same issue with bolt failures (upgrades bolts) and cracked flanges until I broke out a saw and shortened the down pipe. No issues after that.

The new pipe from the factory does not hang as low, weld looks a bit better. Tech says it's way better design. We will see. On my third...
