Default DA-85 Mufflers

Looking to replace my Slimline as it has been repaired and developed a new crack around one of the exhaust pipe which caused the pipe to fall out. I have probably ten or more gallons through the engine. Seems that everyone has had problems with all the different mufflers out there for this engine. So this poll is for people who have at least one flying season on their mufflers. Yeah, I know flying seasons vary but let's no get crazy. Let me know if I missed any other brands. Not interested in a pipe at this point.

Do you have the original Slimline or the newer one that is beefed up on the output from the can? I have the newer one and it has easily 150 flights with no issues

I believe it was the newer version. It's about two years old.

I've been looking at the Jtec. Tower sells the large model only. Would that one be loudest of the three that Jtec sells?
