Mine broke to... I wonder if it's a common problem. I had it welded and it's been fine since.

i think it is my buddy hit like a 15ft double and landed hard and i think it hit the caliper and snaped it off where the pipe goes into the silencer...

My brother rear ended me and broke mine. Completely broke the silencer mount and where it connects to the exhaust.

it is a very common problem with teh WB exhaust. i had one, did the same thing. they always break there, just poor design/workmanship.

I had one too. It was constantly breaking and having to be rewelded. I finally broke down and got an HMF

Take it to a pro to weld it, He will lay down what looks like dimes on new weld. But the new White Bro pipes have been improved just got not a problem now

The outer part of the 'can' is aluminum but I belive the part being talked about in this thread is stainless steel.

same here mine broke also, had to well it with stainless and it has held ever since, you should look at the new pipes they have a stainless reinforcment bar between the pipe and the silencer, i did it and have never had a problem since. make sure you take it to a good welder it is alittle tricky and will take some tweeking to get it right, there is 2 layers of metal that have to be delt with.
