Good morning one and all , I have a TS-1 with a NK tour exhaust , I have found a pin hole in the exit pipework where it as grounded on the speed bumps , will this cause issues ? the hoe is tiny at the moment and is difficult to locate, I fully expect it will be come larger , but if I could do the 4 nations before replacing that would be ideal.
thanks people
Avanti ....

Can't you wrap some exhaust wrap round it for the time being and to get you through the 4 Nations?

I had a crack in the weld of the stub on a fresco not long ago and that definitely caused it to run lean and draw air... surely you could just weld it up quite cheaply?

if I could locate the hole off course I would get it welded , but to see the pin hole I look down the inlet and shine torch in the area where it as grounded on the out side of the bend , however it cant be seen with the naked eye from the other external side ...

Shine the light down the pipe and then move your finger over the pipe until the light disappears, that's where your hole is, mark it with a piece of chalk and get it welded...simples
