    muffler idea?

    my 84 big red es muffler cracked off from the exhaust manifold pipe, by the carb.(it was welded) its in pretty rough shape (muffler) could I just run a straight pipe and say F a muffler? right now it pops pretty damn loud when u let off the gas, but it sounds awesome!

    I don't have a answer to your question but I would just find a used exhaust so you don't go deaf. LOL

    Stop riding it until you get a replacement headpipe, lest you warp the exhaust valve and have bigger problems. You shouldn't have much trouble finding a used exhaust on eGay.

    eGay lol.... couldnt you take a wire brush to it, and mig it? i would do that til u can find something better- when u get the muffler u can just knock off the tack welds and weld up the new one

    My guess is it's so hardened at this point that it will just crack next to the weld in a short time. Are you missing any of the head pipe mounting bolts? If it's not supported well enough, this is only escalating the problem.

    head pipe (which I call exhaust manifold is fine), excpet for the end where is goes into the old "clamp" which was removed and just welded. I wonder if they have a total aftermarket exhaust for it, I know dratv had one listed but he doesnt have any in stock or something
