Replacing the exhaust...

[nfpgasmask]

Has anyone ever had to replace their exhaust pipes (completely or partially?)? The flex pipe in mine is leaking now and I have a bad hissing sound coming from there. I think I might be able to just replace that section, but I wanted to check and see what others have done.

Thanks - Bart

Hey bart !

You can go to ebay & purchase one for a reasonable price,actually i need to grab one for my horse pretty soon.

When i went to add the 2nd muffler coming from the passenger side i completely forgot that & the mech didn't had any with the right size

Yes my baby is mad with me

Bart,

You can get just the flex pipe replaced. There was a thread about it recently but I can't remember who started it. Make sure you go to a reputable shop tho (didn't Rickshaw run into some problems recently too?)

Well, I haven't gotten under there yet to take a look, but I was thinking I could just replace that section of the exhaust pipe. I'm not sure however. I guess I need to find a muffler shop and gitterdun.

Lots of us have had this done. The flex pipe is expected to rust and fail just like the muffler. I had a shop do mine along with a new muffler while I waited.



You could do this yourself pretty easily. Just cut out the old flex with a recip saw or whatnot, take it to a parts store and they'll see exactly what size you need. Take it home and clamp it up in there.

Thanks Mark, that is what I had in mind. I could probably chop it out with my Sawzall pretty quickly. So you think band clamps would be good enough?
