Exhaust material

[dode]

Can someone please confirm the standard exhaust on the 2007-2009 250’s are nickel plated steel please, or am I misinformed?
Have a small leak on the exhaust where the frame bracket attaches and was thinking of purchasing a welder to fix myself.

Thank you

Yep just plated steel. Can be TIG welded easily.

My question is can you weld? TIG is a skill that needs to be learned first if you are not familiar with it. Otherwise you may ruin a good pipe.

Have a good friend with a MIG welder.
He’s is a panel beater / sprayer to trade but welding comes with the territory in that line of work.

I thought it would have cracked and failed with the heat expansion and cooling.
But good to know thank you
