Ok so my Sparks pipe broke off teh other week and Sparks wants 275 for teh canister. Well i dont exactly have that right now and i dont have a stock exhaust to put back on so im wondering if i could get a small tractor glasspack muffler and have a midpipe bend at a muffler shop and attach it to my Sparks header. Im just trying to make something for temporary until i get some money together. Ive seen a raptor 350 running a glasspack at a local MX track and it didnt sound bad at all and i knwo alot of UTE riders use them also, but im just concerned about nto having any backpressure. Tell me what you think?

what broke?

Take a picture of it, you could end up just shortening it up and welding it back together......

What actually broke was the midpipe, there the midpipe goes into teh canister it broke off completely around there and then was flattend by another rider. all i need is the midpipe (the megaphone part) but sparks wont just sell me that. I have to buy the whole section. Does anyone know the outside diameter of teh sparks header?

Ouch!
Sorry to hear about your sparks.
That's why I shortened my X-4 on my 330 by 2 inches. Didn't want to put it up on it's haunches and bust off my pipe. Stuck out about 1" past my grab bar.

i wish i would have taken some, it actually sheered od where the canister starts and the megaphone meets, then the megaphone was ran over and flattened.
