Broke the Pipe off the exhaust the other night

Now to try and fix this one or buy a new one. Its allready pretty loud but after a few hours of riding it was 11pm and we were riding in a stream about 1.5' of water its part of a trail and the only way across is to follow the stream for a good 1/4-1/2 mile. About half way through i went over a rock and when it hit the tone changed and the quad got real loud. So once we were out of the stream I stopped and listened to it and couldnt figure out the problem. Plus being dark i couldnt see anything. So we kept riding another 3 hours till 1am and when we got back to my friends shop I pulled infront of the light and noticed the pipe was tipped down and where the mid pipe goes into it I was pretty much running a straight pipe lol. Only thing I can think of that would have done that is right before going into the stream my friend stopped quick before some mud so i droped down to 2nd and picked the front up and skipped across it then pulled another wheelie. I think i may have gone up a litle to high and a rock might have hit the bottom of the pipe and caused it to break loose. Then the cool water hitting it and running over that rock bouncing just finished it off. All I know is I had a headache from the noise by the time we were done and on the way back to the lot from the oppsite side of a 4 lane road a good 300-500' I set off a car alarm just by hitting the gas quick lol.

Pretty much this is all i had for 3 hours of riding with the pipe just kinda chilling out back not connected to the rest of the exhaust.

Oh and I found out that these tires as good as they are in mud will not crawl through deep mud lol.

after pulling it out backwards I rode thorugh again this time staying on it and was going a little bit faster and made it through with no problem.

wtf aperently you do ride very hard you should have notice a performance loss and if your running a straith pipe it would have been a lot louder

It still moved out though as long as i stayed on it.
