The more I look at the factory pipe with the wing, the more I believe it’s a vibration dampener.
The pipe can take the loading, but no pipe will last if during loading it sees a harmonic that see natural frequency.
It’s very possible the FAE pipe could see a resonant frequency at a certain speed. 10mph for example could be fine, but 11.3 may hit a bad frequency......just my theory.

The factory pipe has 4 bolt holes. Some some reason fae goes against that and only has 3 holes. I knew that was inadequate when I saw it.

I have seen all the stories about the fae pipe getting cracks in the weld and failing. It looks like I might be part of that club. It looks like I got a hair line crack in it. Just watching it every time I go out to see if it gets worse. Maybe a winter project repairing or swapping it out. I am considering cutting it shorter now to maybe make it last a little longer.
I think if I cut it just 1-2 inches below the center plate at 100% that would be enough to mix it in with prop wash while reducing the amount of drag and pressure on it.
If I get a new one I think I am going to do that before installing it.
Not looking forward to replacing it. There is a whole lot of 5200 on that thing.

Are issues limited to aftermarket FAE, or is the factory system having similar issues?

Mine is directly from the original makers of fresh air exhaust. I would imagine they all come from them but I could be wrong on that. I would think they have a patent.
But maybe they license it to the manufacturers.
I am going to call this week and see what they say about replacing/repairing it

I pulled mine off again on Friday and reinstalled the factory outlet.
I email FAE and got crickets this time. Not impressed. I told them that they need to gusset these or they will continue to crack. This is the second time it has cracked on me.
