Re: The right muffler Is it leaking because of cracked welds or gaskets? I've had a marsh mellow for 3 years and have had zero issues with it.

Re: The right muffler My BPS Q cracked (noticed the cracks) at 250 hrs, repaired it, 30 hrs later, leaking gasket, ordered Composite compression graphite gasket that someone suggested.

Re: The right muffler CB performance gaskets are the best i've found. order number 2801. They come 4 per pack because they are for a vw engine. Thick and reusable, at least twice as thick and the thickest gasket i've seen.
Have you looked at the new BPS's exhaust? Looks good to me and if I ever start having issues with the mm i'm going with the new BPS Rapid R pipe? Supposed to be nearly as quiet as the Q but a deeper tone and has slip fit tubing with springs to help eliminate the cracking issues. Also made in the US with US stainless steel. http://www.backwaterperformancesystems. ... uct_id=424 _________________ 1854 Prodigy Open HDR/Stage 3 mods Prodigy Boats Pro Staff BPS Swamp Staff Member Blackwater Marine LLC.

Re: The right muffler cut slits in the slip flange.. Then put a clamp around the flange after to secure it. That is the majority of the leaking issue with a Marsh Mellow
