Was coming home from work, and at about 120mph the bike started to have a sudden rasp to it. It sounded very very sweet and I thought is sounded very responsive like a superbike oozing power. As it doesnt ooze power at all and I cant usually hear it through ear plugs so loud I got the plugs out and had a listen to the bike. This was almost unbearable so I looked at my exhaust and saw a hole at the carbon sleeve attatchment area.

The exhaust is a polini. It was very loud previous and I quite liked it. I would like to save money and keep it if I can, so who do I speak to? A welding/Fabricating service I guess. Am I right?

Also does it look repairable? It is quite a clean break, however it has also came apart all the way.

As a professional automotive engineer would say, "It's fucked".
