07 RG exh. bracket failure

&nbsp\\;At 8k miles I found rear pipe bracket near head (cheesy stamped metal with 90 bend) broken. Replaced,aligned and checked for stress. 11k failed again.
&nbsp\\;Im guessing this is a common problem and was wondering what correction/improvement you folks have come up with.

&nbsp\\;Are you talking about the Y pipe? If so they have been a known problem since day one, you can have it welded and it will usually hold up pretty good.
