Hey guys i was riding today and suddenly my sled got really loud. so i stopped and then i was reving it and found that there was a hole blown out of the side of the expansion pipe. well i found the peice and noticed that there was even more that was cracked. by the looks of it it can be welded back. but should i just get a mod pipe or weld it?

If it was on my sled I would play it safe and get a new pipe.

If you weld it it wont hurt performance I do not believe. Have any pics? That should help. Welding is cheap, pipe is not.

Welding it wont damage anything but how long until it just blows out again? It wont take long to lean out a cylinder so I would play it safe and get a new pipe as soon as possible.
