Concerned about problems with exhaust mixing elbow that might happen underway?  It probably differes witht he type of elbow, whether SS or cast iron.  Cast iron elbows can develop pin-hole leaks resulting from the inside corrosion.  These are, to my understanding, rarely sudden and catistrophic failures so there should be some warning.  Recommend you carry some thick rubber sheeting and extra hose clamps to apply as a patch.
