These were the heavy duty chromed ones. Any experience? Who makes them/buy from?

Bob,

Is that your bike? If it is that sucks! They were good looking pipes, and they sounded sweet. I was sitting at the picnic table one morning admiring them, (and the rest of your bike)

If brazing was good enough for Colin Seeley it's good enough for me.

All I'm seeing in those photos is a structural failure which is most likely due to high cycle fatigue.

Make sure you understand and take into consideration Joint Design when discussion brazing versus welding. It matters. A lot.
Best regards.

Your silencer didn't just fail across the brazing, did it?
Now is your opportunity to explain (a) my ignorance and (b) your superior knowledge of brazing/bronze welding and normal welding, since it matters so much.
I'm sorry your £40 silencer failed, incidentally.

To be clear, I'm just looking to hear from some who've bought them. How they've held up. They sat on my shelf 2 years, so not even asking the vendor for help. I'm "self insured" regarding stuff like that.
I liked the LOOKS, but, if others have had longevity issues, I won't persue it.
It looks like they didn't sell a lot anyway..., so my sample base may have no value.

Welded anything for the aerospace segment lately?

Thank you for pointing out the drain hole. I will be sure to have a look at my pipes in this regard.
