P1000 2020 1000-5 weld crack

[Baumer8907]

I have a 1000-5 that has cracked at the weld. I wondered what people had the best luck with. I have thought about just replacing the y pipe. I was wondering if anyone else had taken off and re welded? Or if going to after market was the best? I wouldn’t mind a better tone, however I have outgrew the loud exhaust. Just wondering what would make the sense?

If you're not thinking of going aftermarket then I'd just weld/repair it and call it a day. The OEM is the quietest exhaust you'll find out there. If you're up for a little heat reduction, removing the CAT helps reduce heat a bit. You'll have the exhaust out already so you'll be halfway there. Quick and easy mod.

Good luck 👍

If I’m repairing, I feel like I should replace the y pipe vs welding. Where is the best place to order that from?

Personally if a fella can weld or has a friend that can….I’d weld it. Cost is next to nothing that way. But ultimately it is your decision

Definitely remove the cat and weld the pipe!

Just weld it. No need to replace the y pipe. You could split a piece of pipe and put it over the crack and weld it, essentially making the pipe thicker in the area of the crack. That's what I would do if it was mine. Hope that makes sense.

One more vote! Wire brush the snot out of it and weld it.
