all in the same week. Before my daughter was born April 4 (6 weeks early) I'd ordered a LP rear wheel stand so I could update my front muffler mount. I got a break last night, installed it. Got another break today and went for a spin to blow off some steam and it kept backfiring and running rough so I got home and started tightening down exhaust studs (that had backed off due to the bad hanger) and noticed my header is cracked nearly all the way around. It's cracked in such a spot that I don't see how it can be repaired; where the front and rear pipes get so close together you can't clean between them. What are my options? Look for a used one?

Thanks,
Brent

I'm not gonna be much help on the header, some of the wise sages here will have to come to your aid there(ebay does have flurries of m2 stuff off and on though). I'm just now figuring out the questions to ask, and always get great answers.
I saw the post, and wondered how your daughter cracked your head, and see now the two so far aren't related, but just a warning, she'll be messin with you head for the next twenty years or so.

anyhow CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

Lots of used headers out there bud, many folks here won't want much for them if they're just taking up space in the garage.

brent, if you want something just to get you going again, i got a set of bub pipes that came off of the other m2 that got totalled. say have a sound like a growl but you do lose horsepuppies with them. let me know and i'll get them off to you. btw, congrats on your daughter and when she does start riding your bikes tell her to always wear her gear. mine wasn't when she got hit from the rear and ended up with some scarring that she'll remember for quite a while.
