I've got to disagree with you there Jr.

I realize that this has nothing to do with Steve's (Cignificant) problem, but if I was to buy a new Cig for whatever they cost (400-500K???) and my exhaust broke three times....I wouldn't be a happy camper!!

If a new 2006 Mercedes (or any other brand of car) had a problem with the exhaust manifolds cracking or breaking, do you really think that the dealership or Mercedes would tell the person that bought the car to go pound sand??????

Thanks for all of the replies. Since my exhaust are old, and I don't know their history (they came with the boat), I plan on doing "something" besides fixing them. Feel free to PM me if you have anything to sell.
