Sorry to say, but you should be. Was it backfiring? I had 1 that was cracked and I'm pretty sure I lost power because of it. Its fixed now and sled seems to run stronger. Yamaha has stainless steel ones for $91.00 but the right side one is on back order until March 19. Bender racing has steel ones for $399.00 and that includes new donuts. They have SS ones for $499.00. Hope this helps!!

FYI - The stainless Yamaha replacements have been slowly trickeling in - I got a right one in the other day and have more coming that should be in next week - the left side I also have a handful in stock. If you need either give me a call. Thanks
