Exhaust System Component Sources

[Fly By Night]

After discovering a hole in my #1 Cylinder exhaust riser during a leak check following annual inspection activities, I am now searching for a replacement.  What are the best sources for exhaust components?

Best sources IMO are to find a repair shop that specializes in exhaust. Cutting out the damaged area and re-welding a piece of exhaust ubing is a very common repair and far cheaper than buying a new one plus your repaired exhaust will be just as good as new. However, I don't know whom to recommend in your area but you might begin by calling around to some local larger shops you may know to ask whom they send out their exhaust repairs too.

A good exhaust shop can make a new riser from scratch. The Lycoming flanges are standard and the rest is just a bent pipe. If it has a hole the metal is probably eroded over a large area.

We have a local welder TIG a patch over the hole.  It's around 50-100$ for a piece.  It's 321 stainless and uses standard welding technique.
