Key Takeaways:

A range of exhaust system components (pipes, welds, flanges, wastegates) on various Cessna and Piper aircraft are experiencing failures.
Common failure modes include cracking, leaking, defective welds, disengagement, blistering, pitting, and missing sections.
These issues are discovered during routine inspections or manifest as operational problems like loss of pressurization or engine performance, occurring at widely varied component ages.
