Gotta Crack
 
07 RK, I changed the clutch cable a while back but did not change the exhaust gaskets and thought is was a leaky gasket, pulled the heat shields off and their it was maybe 2" long crack on top of the Y pipe, Question is has anyone had luck welding it up?

Thanks

It can be done, but the stock pipes are usually pretty easy to find on Craigslist, etc.

Just remember the pipe changed a bit from 06-07.

That said I made a 07 2-1 header work on a 02.

Well, I ain't got one nohow.

Got an '11 header I can get at, maybe (?) an '06 buried somewhere.

Would have to do an archaeological dig.

07 will fit fine, just need to plug the O2 sensor port. I ended up with one on the 06 when mine went south in Rogers, AR.

I stand corrected then, but I thought something changed at the starter bracket connection and the transmission connection.

If it did, I must've overcome it. I don't recall anything, though. In fact, I ended up putting a whole 07 setup on it just to get those O2 bungs.

Appreciate all the suggestions, I was rootin around on the web and found a fullsac conversion kit that will eliminate the Y pipe all together for $190 bucks, might just go that route and not worry about it again.

Morning all, Just a little update, took the y pipe over to Eddies and had it tig welded for 20 bucks put is all back together and damn if it doesn't sound halfway normal now. Now if I can get this cast off my hand I can get some miles in before it gets to hot.
