I called a few shops to have it repaired (overhauled), but it seems none of them work on the smaller diameter piping. Rotax is 1 1/4 inch? The lead time for a new replacement from the factory (Diamond) is about 10 weeks. I looked thru the Rotax parts manual and saw their are 2 different pipes and some kits. Mine is stainless steel. How are 912 owners fabricating their exhausts? What shops will do this. thanks for any info.

Lockwood apparently has used them for this specific type of job. And the lady welder said she had done "millions" of these end replacements. The ends were Rotax parts from Lockwood. Not sure about fabrication of new exhaust systems. BJ Kitfox IV 912 > > > Try Travis Kobush.

AND ask them to put a PATCH over the crack. Do not let them just weld the crack. Weld the crack and Patch for strength. *Barry* On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 4:40 PM, JohnE wrote: > > The co-pilot side rear exhaust pipe cracked on me this weekend.

The crack in this case cut the pipe into 2 pieces. It does look like another section of pipe could be put over it and then welded if thats how they would do it.
