Super Jet How long do b pipe couplers last

[tor*p*do]

It was new at the beginning of the season, but 150 hrs run time it looks shot
Is this normal?
Is a new coupler needed every season?

I have had the same one for about 5 years or longer.

make sure it is installed correctly and it will last a long time. push the chamber all the way up tight to the headpipe when installing.

I like to change it every season. For $25 it's just nice to know its new. But the Kawi is way tighter than the Yami setup. Kawis rub the manifold.

3 to 4 seasons here....

Make sure the stinger end is at the right height, the chamber isn't to hot, have good motor mounts and take it off to inspect/clean/Honda wax after every ride or one hour whatever comes first . Mines showing signs of wear and it's year 2 on it with total abuse .

I have had the same coupler on my FX1 since 1994, I have 3 couplers in a box that I have never needed so Install it up tight/right and you should have no probs! Or I am just a lucky sumbitch?

haha. never put hondwax inside the coupler or it will blow of the headpipe and shot right in to orbit

no, that is about average.
I plan to pull the pipe and check it all over
maybe it was rubbing the hull or something
