    Agreed. The real FAE uses flanges instead of couplings.

    I pretty much designed it the way that larry told me he'd do a FAE on my boat if I bought it from him. And no, on the real FAE Supra instructions there's no flanges unless you pay more to replace your exhaust outlets with a flange style so you can go flange to flange...

    Look at the "Moomba and Supra" instructions on this pdf on page 3:

    Anyway, I am sure I can make some improvements... I'm pretty surprised that it broke the metal pipe strapping though. I think if it broke the pipe strapping, it cold have very sell torn plastic to pvc that was rivetted together. Then I'd have an even bigger mess to clean up.

    My mistake. When I purchased my FAE, I replaced the supertrapps with flanges. I did use the supplied rubber couplers, though. Maybe adding some additional supports to yours would help?

    You can see that mine has two horizontal bars and then vertical supports attached to them on each side. Hasn't moved since it was installed in 2010
