    Road debris, exhaust damage

    Went on a road trip to Jay Peak Vermont to ski this week. Popped over to the left lane to pass a car on the highway and in the middle of my lane is an orange construction site lamp standing up in the middle of my lane. No way to avoid it. Smashed a hole in my midpipe exhaust. Seems unlikely it can be repaired, but interested to know if anyone has had something like this welded up?

    OE replacement is $650-675 (ESC and FCP, respectively).

    Has anyone here removed 18107504168 and replaced it with the Supersprint midpipe ($513)?

    Curious to know what it sounds like.

    Uaghh, found a tube vid, seems way too raspy with straight section 1 Supersprint x-pipe.

    I would just grab a spare exhaust from the junkyard or local classifieds. Usually available for around $100. Then just have a shop weld on your ZHP muffler.

    Yeah, that thought crossed my mind. Likely the best option. These exhausts are pretty hardy, even in the harsh NE salt environment where I drive. The only area where I have had bad corrosion issues is the connection between the header/cat manifold and section 1.

    I've got a couple of stock exhausts in MA if you're interested. Both off convertibles from OH and DE, so theoretically they saw a lot less salt.
