Default Crack in side muffler weld...

I just noticed a crack in the side muffler on the weld. Anyone know if this is repairable? Or is it worth doing...

Maybe this is the reason to finally install the Sharkwerks track exhaust that been on my shelf for almost a year.....

Sure, any quality welder can fix. The track exhaust is crazy loud.

I just removed the Sharkwerks track exhaust and reinstalled the stock side cans + center bypass. As said above, SW track exhaust is crazy loud. Not for the faint of heart. I say this as a lover of all things race cars and loud exhausts. Definitely consider fixing your stock muffler first lol.

I’d do the track exhaust. I love mine. Sounds so glorious. The neighbors love it too.

Me too. I love my Sharkwerks track exhaust. Very intoxicating sound. I would not recommend it for long highway driving.

I had a weld crack in my stock header. I had it welded recently for ~ $25.

Went ahead and put on the track exhaust last night. Waited until this morning to start her up..... just like you guys said, it is loud! I'm going to get the old muffler repaired in case I want to switch back later. See how this is for a while.
