The collector box,sitting horizontally under the engine, is the weakest link. Condensed water (product of combustion) collects here and the outside of the box is subject to road dirt/salt so eventually will corrode through. It is easy to forget this part of the system being mainly out of sight.
Have removed from my bike & wire brushed exterior then a few coats of heat proof paint should prolong its life.
