Have it tacked, pull it off and have it welded.

Surprisingly enough it wasn't obvious other than just on deaccel.

That is surprising - looks likes it is half way around the pipe.

So...think this leak would be enough to Screw with how well the bike runs? I patched it temporarily, took bike for a spin. (Did some carb work too). Bike ran great, then got worse as it warmed up - just about the same time my patch gave way and it started to leak again. I dropped the exhaust afterwards to get it welded. I'll attach a few more pics now that I have it off.

Yes and a little patch over it will help.

Well I used the epoxy stuff to just patch it up for the time being because my buddy couldn't get time to weld it. I knew I would have to weld it eventually. I think it's been this bad for some time. I just hope it might answer my issues with the bike falling on its face from a stop - maybe this leak made it that lean. Also it looks bad just sitting there. You can actually close the gap if you flex the pipe back together.

At least that will be out of the way and you have a chance to tune it. :whistle:
