Hi, after a ride out yesterday my nc23 as developed a hole in the downpipes in the collector box bit where they all meet. Its pretty damn rusty and i know i need to get a new set of pipes, but is it worth trying to weld them? Im guessing the metal is going to be getting pretty thin down there if its rusted down that much so i wasnt too sure.
Cheers
Will

No its not worth welding it mate, it will just blow holes through it.
Your best off finding a second hand set of originals or getting a stainless steel system
