Anyway to reinforce the emission fittings for longtubes? I need to get a set of longtubes, but it seems any longtube regardless of manufacturer the emission fittings break off. I need the emission stuff. Anyone?

You might be able to find, or fab, "saddle fittings" that
spread the load-circle away from the tube, and weld or
braze them on. It's the HAZ around the weld that fatigues,
and the solution is less stress (by more area).
