So I found out today I have a cracked Y header pipe. \\; I have no idea how long its been cracked but I would guess not more than a month. \\; So the question is how low can I run with a crack problem???? \\; 2nd question I don't plan on doing any engine mods to the 88in, who make the best true duel exhaust with out sacrificing performance?

Ive changed many of these over the years.. u can \\; run a \\; while.. \\; but \\; as the motor shakes \\; the crack \\; will run \\; its \\; way.. and continue to spread... \\; \\; \\; \\; you must \\; eventually correct this \\; and the "new"  \\;factory \\; hd pipe \\; \\; will also \\; split \\; eventually. \\; just \\; get it over \\; with and get \\; true duals \\; now. \\;

Anything beats having to deal with the y pipe setup. \\; Mine cracked and I replaced it with Rinehart TD's. \\; Been smiling ever since.

Had the same problem after I bought my bike. \\; One of the left exhaust clamps was loose and the excess vibration caused the crack. \\; Was your bike popping on decel? \\; Mine was and thats how I found the problem...and it was hotter than hell too!
 \\;
I took it apart and had a local welder put a nice large bead on it...haven't had any problems since.
 \\;
good luck.
