I hit a small pothole last night a a few seconds later it sounded like I was driving a Harley. While I enjoy the noise I was, of course concerned. I checked under the VX and found that the pipe snapped clean right where it meets the section where the pipe bolts to the header. It snapped on the pipe end and not the header end. So, as I'm pretty broke right now, I was wondering if it was possible or a good idea to have this part just welded back. Will it hold. Are the pipes made of an alloy that is weldable? Having it welded will be no problem because my father-in-law is a master welder, but he is out fishing for about a week so I can't reach him to ask and I need my baby working as soon as possible because it's my DD. I need to find out quick so I can get whatever action I need to take done ASAP.
