I broke my muffler on my CRF 150. Is it salvageable?



I was riding wheelies and I must of scraped the muffler on the pavement and ruined it by it dragging. I broke the seal of the pipe that runs from the middle of the bike to the back end where then it connects to the muffler. The welding appears to have cracked making the exhuats from the cat back to be loose from the connecting pipe. Its an after market exhaust that I wouldnt kinda want to save!!
Any cheap repair suggestions???

if you broke it on a weld. that's good. any shop with a welder should be able to weld this with no problem. the location of the weld probably has thicker metal witch should ease in the repair. if it's in a thinner spot you may need to have it brazed back together or tig welded. but any good welder should be able to look at it. good luck
If the exhaust is still mounted firmly, just leaking at a weld, you can try to seal up the hole with muffler tape (available at auto parts stores).
Tape up the hole, the heat melts the tape to conform to the hole and dries as hard as a rock.
Otherwise get it welded.
