Hello,

 

My Raceco offset exhaust endcap is cracking for a second time.  I will be trying to get it rewelded but if anyone has a front end cap or a whole system they are looking to sell shoot me a PM.

 

Thanks

The difference in thermal expansion between the thick weld and the thin cap and pressure is why it fails. Add a layer of silica cloth/mat/fabric to the inside of the cap. The material is similar to header wrap but you need one, wide piece to fit with no gaps. Cut the hole a little small to slip over the tube for a nice fit. Something like this: https://www.mcmaster.com/8827K25/

Might want to do both ends.
