## Discrepancy

THE RT ENGINE EXHAUST TAILPIPE,  WAS FOUND TO BE INCORRECTLY INSTALLED OR MANUFACTURED.  DURING FLIGHT, THE EXHAUST TAILPIPE CHAFED THE FIREWALL, PN 2813102-8 AND THE FLAME SHIELD, EXHAUST, PN 2813100-13.  THE CHAFING PRODUCED A HOLE THROUGH THE FIREWALL.  THIS WAS VISUALLY DISCOVERED DURING AN INSPECTION.
