Hey Rick--Thanks for your input. The past posts referenced the ceramic material but I could not find the resolution--it seemed that most of the discussion went on about chain slack. The potential for power loss and an obstructed pipe was the conclusion that I was looking for and now my fear. I have not experienced it yet, but I assume it is coming. Lucky for me, I do not have an emission test requirement for the bike--now. I asked the dealer for a quote on that header assembly; I almost dropped the phone. It was quoted over $1000. Well, it looks like I have my winter project. 

Hey Todd,
Double check this, but I was under the impression that any EPA Emission related equipment was warrantied for a period of 5yrs from the vehicle manufacturer.  This was an EPA requirement of sorts.  This is how many people got their exhaust header replaced outside of the original 2 yr warranty.  Early ST headers had a bad weld near the end of the header where it connected to the tailpipe (can't remember exactly what was welded- centerstand bumper mount?) and caused early blowouts/leaks.  Triumph replaced many that were outside of the 2 yr warranty.  I'd look into it before putting out your own bucks.
 
Cheers,
Jonathan West
