All I can say is that I will abide by the wishes of the moderators (afterall, this is a privately owned board and they have every right to moderate it in any way they see fit). I tried my best to get FEJ to own up to the defects by at least meeting me half way on the loss. But they had other ideas. Moreover, as a contumacious person and as a result of the loss, it inspired me to continue to warn people about these defective pipes, which btw continue to be a problem as we speak.

So, all I can do now is politely warn people who are interested in FEJ jets to severly inspect their pipes before using them. They need to get a mirror and inspect all internal welds especially on bifricated pipes. Also you need to wiggle the ends to see if they fall apart. I wouldn't have even thought to do this on my F18. There are some welds that cannot be inspected because they are hidden from veiw. Not much you can do there other than hope to God they won't fail if they get a little hot.

At the least, others have benifited from this discussion. That is a fact regardless of the naysayers.
