[QUOTE="Howard, post: 19503, member: 271"] Hi I assume this is a quick temporary fix. You could try screwing a self tapper in if it's a very small hole and the rest of the pipe is strong enough - you could make up stories about adjustable resonance length (or something) for club night when people notice it. I don't think Gungum (don't know if it's still sold here, let alone in Oz) will work on the inside of exhausts. If it's on the straight part, you could get a short piece of exhaust pipe, split it lengthwise, squeeze it like a spring and tap it into the exhaust, till it covers the hole. I don't know what it will do to the performance, but it should stop gases coming out of the hole. H These are a few excerpts from a bike manual by "Hacket and Bodgit" [/QUOTE]
