Exhaust help

[Vannatta32]

So I heard a little rattle in my exhaust the other day as I was unloading my sled out of the trailer into the garage and started taking it apart to replace the donuts. Once I got it apart I realized the whole top of my header pipe where the 3 pipes go into one is blown out ( I'll try to post a pic later). When I bought it from this guy 3 winters ago it was loud but I thought it was just because he had aftermarket exhaust on it and he just seemed like that was normal when he started it for me but I did get the stock exhuast with it so now my question is, it has the hauck fuel accelerator,clutch kit and I believe it is hauck exhaust too(not positive) but if I put the stock exhuast back on for the time being do you guys think it will screw things up since it has the other stuff done to it. Don't know much about fuel mapping and clutching. Thanks

If its a Hauk mid pipe it would have a bung welded into it for a O2 sensor. You can just put the stock mid pipe back on and it should not make that much of a dofference in your map. I have done this before on mine... I seem to break one over couple years..

O ok so this is common than... The only thing is that the stock mid pipe does not line up with the huack silencer unless I put some sort of little s bend to bring the 2 together. The stock silencer will work due to the offset coming out to meet the mid pipe but I don't know if that will make to much back pressure since the huack silencer is just straight through and the stock is not

I ran a Hauck Mid Pipe with a Schmidt Bros Silencer then broke the Mid Pipe, then switched to Excells mid pipe but the stocker would have worked too...I wonder if Hauck made a 2 different mid pipes then? or have the pipe welded back up ... I had mine repaired and beefed up.

After looking at this more I think this might have been a little fabricated by the looks of the welds and pipe. What do you think ?
