ok well your pipe should be ok if it is the nickel one, worth a guess as they (cat ones) really knock the power out of the ring. Std or cat pipe don't have baffles or double skins - or mesh like I pulled out of old KDX. Keep the std pipe if it isn't squashed or twisted at the header bend which happens.
Cat pipes don't have obvious welds at all. Fooled our local pipe manufacturer & when I rode it I thought 'some-thing's wrong', - way wrong & my old squashed pipe back on & RIP the power comes back.
So I had another poke with a wire & found a clunk. So I got him to cut the pipe. He missed as there was no obvious spot, but cut it out & welded it back up as new (& then I got it chromed as easier to clean).
