Hello friends,
I replaced my stock d2 55 exhaust elbow with the stainless steel version from the fine folk at parts4engines during my heat exchanger rebuild adventure (Heat exchanger repair).
I'm going to do a proper write up of this to help others, and doing my reading around the subject I found the below:
FYB Marine. Volvo Penta genuine exhaust elbows and exhaust gaskets
This includes the alarming statement:
I posed this to Parts4engines technical desk (who I have huge respect for), their response was.
I can find no evidence of what FYB marine suggest. Has anyone else experianced Stainless steel exhaust elbows fracturing or exploding??
I have reached out to FYB for comment also.

This includes the alarming statement:
"Never fit a stainless copy exhaust elbow onto any Volvo diesel. We have seen too many exhausts, fracture or explode."
I posed this to Parts4engines technical desk (who I have huge respect for), their response was.
"We have never heard our exhaust outlet to fracture or explode as we have been selling the outlet for years. We sell the replacement outlet in SS for most of our engines.
I can assure this issue we wouldn’t occur and we strongly disagree with the statement from FYB marine"
