Small exhaust holes was created by BIGD
I was hoping someone could give me a fix on 2 small holes, each on either sides of my mufflers. They are not large and would like not to replace the exhaust until the fall. If someone could direct me to new exhaust system for my bike, if not a good aftermarket quiet product I will thank you in advance.BIGD

Are you sure you aren't referring to the moisture vents that all stock exhaust systems have? Are the holes round as if drilled into the bottom of the pipes just before the mufflers? If so they're supposed to be there.

Yes that is quite possible, I will double check, but there is exhaust leeking from the cross piece that joins each side of the system, maybe there is some way to seal that area temporarily.Thanks BIGD

I used aluminum foil tape for a temporary fix.
It doens last long, but it doesnt cost 10 bucks either.

There is an article in the data base about fixing exhaust using stainless steel pieces and JB weld. maybe you could get some ideas from that.
