Just curious. Did Julie quote a price? Availability? That could be a big factor.

It is a bit irritating that they won't support those of us that paid good money for the pipes that they acknowledge had a faulty design.

I don't know why the new pipes would last longer than the old. They are all stainless steel, so there should not be anything to rust or deteriorate regardless of size.

If they are still using the helical design baffle in some form I would wager they are still louder than the other options. I would want to know if EM has taken the time to measure the dB levels at a specific distance with the old and new

I would compare Stainless Specialities prices with EM's prices as a starting point. The fit and polish on the SS pipes exceeded the EM pipes, in my case.
