Most likely will out last your bike. I was thinking maybe have a pipe bent to replace your damaged one.

So. I had the broken pipe welded & reinforced.

I had the repair done, and hit it with High Temp primer & paint.

Seems good. All went back together smoothly and properlike. I guess that’s better than having to buy new headers? 🤔



Hopefully that works for you. I have a stock crossover pipe from a 2014. You can have it for shipping cost if it will be of any use to you.

I appreciate the offer. Not sure how the stock piece would fit with the S&S headers, especially since the OEM H-D headers/crossover were designed for the newer bikes.

This repair seems like it’s going to work…will see how it all goes tho. Thanks again.
