Split exahust, can I still use it?

[Irezumi aka Reuben]

My exhaust has split between the end can and pipe leading to it, the end can end of the downpipe system so only a single pipe.

What problems will this cause in terms of running the bike bar the noise? Can I still use the bike as long as both parts of the exhaust are secured onto the bike?

It'll probably run a wee bit lean. You might find it vents hot exhaust gas in odd directions which could damage parts of your bike (someone on here had their exhaust system come apart recently and it effectively wrote-off the bike, a phenomenal amount of damage).

Why not get it welded back together? The end can has been welded back onto my GPZ three times now. Piss easy unless it rusted off or is made of stainless/titanium.

I havent got access to any welding equipment although my old man can weld and get some, ideally would use my bike tomorrow and Friday though.

It's 200 miles in just those two days though, long commute.

What sort of damage could happen?
