Rocket Exhaust recommendations parts / services

Needing a little help!

Hello All, I have my Rocket in for its annual.... Wow looks like put a whopping 1802 hours on the ol Bucket of Bolts... since major overhaul by Continental!!!  Hard to believe.

TSIO 520 NB engine

Have a crack in the exhaust at a cross over tube (for which there is a 50 hr AD) and the A&P thinks one of the bends sounds thin when tapping on it.  Therefore obviously I am looking for recommendations for exhaust pipe repair/rebuild providers!  Any first-hand experience would be greatly appreciated.

Also, it appears I have a broken turbo bracket (don't have part# yet), not sure if it can be repaired or must be replaced.  Any feedback/ recommended source experience on this would also be appreciated.

Thanks all,

Lacee

I had my Missile exhaust rebuilt by Rocket Engineering about two months ago.  They could probably do it for you too.

I'd bet good money they ship it off to dawley.

When my exhaust had a crack maybe 9 yrs ago we called rocket and they said that at some point they upgraded the exhaust with thicker grade tubes for rockets so they had an exchange where I send my exhaust and they traded a better more robust exhaust.
