When truck was new I swapped out the stock muffler with a Flowmaster 40 series. It was done at . https://www.assortlist.com .. Now one of the pipes from the dual exhaust has broke off from the muffler due to rust. Any advice ... 2015 Ram 1500 Sport R/T.

Before about the mid 80s, we consider ourselves lucky if the factory exhaust on our cars lasted more then a year or two, and the after market stuff was worse. Now we are upset if the goes bad in 5-7 years. If you don't like buying exhaust, drop the big bucks and buy the good stainless steel exhaust, then you will only have to worry about the pipes cracking. Time kills exhaust, mot miles. It rots from the inside out. We just replaced the original exhaust from the converter back on our 04 PT last summer, 16 years, I'm not complaining. The cheap aftermarket stuff I put on my coupe is 8 years old and still looks pretty good, again, I'm not complaining. The original exhaust on my 95 Dakota is getting real loud, I'm hoping it makes it until I replace the truck, but Dakota exhaust is pretty cheap. If you want it to last as long as possible, drive it until it fully dries out, every time you start your motor (at least a 1/2 hour AFTER the motor has reached operating temp). I usually end up putting exhaust on vehicles shortly after I buy them, then seldom have to replace the exhaust again.

I actually like the way it sounds now, but when pulling an enclosed trailer, like I do often, it does get old fast! I better replace it before it falls off completely, but I have no time for down time right now!
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
