Catastrophic downpipe failure, again.

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

Nate,
afaik, the only way the factory downpipe really fails is when the engine 
mounts are bad.
also, couldnt hurt to make sure the exhaust brackets are doing their job 
(the ones near the front - that reduce the weight on the downpipe flex 
coupling).
