Default 951 X Over to Wastgate Pipe Needed

Wondering if any one has an extra exhaust pipe that connects the X over to the wastegate. When I pulled my X over off I found the inside weld was broken all the way around meaning a pretty big leak to the wastegate. Im hestitant to have it rewelded so I dont mess with the flow but am looking at rewelding as a last resort.

Thanks
Brian

Remember, there are two different styles of two piece crossover ...

I would just have someone weld the pipe who is competent with inconel. You can line it up on the break, clamp it and weld it around the outside. Any penetration can be ground down with a pencil grinder or something similar, and the same goes for excess weld obstructing the bolt heads. Fretting about gas flow to that extent is overkill; unless you're custom-designing exhaust components to exhibit specific wave characteristics, the difference is insignificant.

Most people won't sell the short pipe by itself anyhow, so you'd be looking at ~$150 for an entire two-piece.

Also - there are two different setups for the two piece crossover. Might want to post of pics of the part that you need to make sure you get the right one.

I've got one from an 89 , but as others have pointed out they are not all alike. I could be wrong , but I believe 88-89 were the same.
