Hi Donald,
FYI we had a comparable crack on our MCR. This was due to a rupture of a
bolt of fixation under the engine.
Don't know if it helps but just have a look how the engine is maintained.
Remember also what was the level of vibration at low rotation and how the
engines topped...

Objet: Europa-List: XS exhaust down pipe crack
--> <fireflier@btinternet.com>
Hi
Whilst flying today my exhaust down pipe on no 4 cylinder developed a crack
as shown in the attached photo.
I have done a search of the list and found one further history of this type
of failure on g-tern. This was back in 2012 but there wasn't any conclusive
answers as to what has caused this type of failure.
My exhaust is a CKT engineering system fitted to a rotax 912uls with
woodcomp sr3000 vp prop, europa XS. The exhaust system has had approx 30 hrs
use before this failure.
I have sent the owner of G-tern a PM through this forum to see if he can
Give me any further information as to possible cause and what soloution's he
has had to rectify the problem he had back kn 2012.
If anyone else could help or provide any possible answers to this type of
failure, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Donald
