Hey Dave, just get your pipe welded. they all crack there so I welded mine & its good now. If you look at the design of the exhaust & the engine mounts, you will see that the engine moves but your pipe on the right side is bolted to the frame near your foot peg making it rigid to the moving motor. If you dont use a re enforced pipe it will crack again so your better off just fixing it so it will last.
I used a 110 volt Mig welder & burnt in a few beads where they are known to crack.

Thanks for the inputs. My second option was to take it to a muffler shop and have them weld it up. Definitely not riding it until it's fixed.
I didn't know you can put a late model Y-pipe on. Thought they changed around 1995, and then again in 09 with new style pipe. I didn't think 95 Evos were any different than 89 Evo Bagger? Anyone know for sure what is interchangeable, cause I can look on Ebay too. Thanks.

Daven, if you're totally happy with your mufflers, the Fulsac setup as John suggested is a great option.
Otherwise you can pickup a TC exhaust with matching heat shields for dirt cheap if you're patient.

I replaced my entire exhaust with the '07 FLHTUICEIEIO which I paid around a bill for, complete and shipped, so I don't know if it is a different length, but I think it was the same. I think I reused one original bracket and it was around the starter, and/or I ground the new one down so it pinched tighter right at where the rear Y connnects to the next piece. It wasn't much to do.

I snagged an NOS Y-pipe off fleabay last year for 45.00 and was tickled because I didn't want to give up my mufflers. And later bought a set of heat shields off a 97 Road King and the "s" shield didn't have the notch for the clamp in the correct spot. The left shield had to be shortened to clear the v-clamp and it doesn't fit correctly to the "s" shield either... But hey, I still have my favorite mufflers
And just for everyones info - the left heat shield costs more than any other single piece of the entire exhaust system. 165.00 when they were still avaliable and I think the later ones aren't much less than that. So I'm not fussing about the 32.00 I gave for the whole set.
