A while back I mentioned my exhaust pipe had broken at the rear entry to the muffler. Well, don't remember who, but someone said it was stainless steel and couldn't be welded fixed. KUDO"S to whomever that was.
Now, I need a new system. Of course, most power, looks, mid, etc, etc the same ole stuff. But my kicker is I want a quiet one. No FMF's had it hate it. I can get a new stocker for $160.
Experts: What's my options, brands, and opinions?

I would look for another stocker. I tried a Big Gun and it feel apart within 400 miles plus it was way to loud with very little gain. I am currently running my stock pipe. my .02

A good welder can weld stainless, i know welders that can weld anything except a broken heart and the crack of dawn. But the truth about 99% of aftermarket exhaust is they will do nothing except make more noise unless you have extensive motor mods, stock systems are hard to beat on stock motors.

True,
On a bike like my Raptor 700 (HMF clams 10hp and 10ft of torque and I believe them) the exhaust really helps but for a Rhino especially the 450 there is not much gain other than the noise.

yep just get the stock one,the big gun and fmf are not worth having to repack every ride
