• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

610 midpipe

So I installed the plug for the O2 sensor when I installed the power up kit in my 08 2 years ago. I decided to safety wire the nut to the mount for the midpipe heat shield, idiot! Well I guess the safety wire pulled on the weld/mount and created a crack at the weld. Eventually it rattled off completely. I now need a midpipe even from the 06/07 carb models if anyone has one.

Twisted safety wire is not very stiff, I am not sure that it caused that failure.

Why not just have the pipe welded? Probably cheaper than buying a new one.
 
It sure was the safety wire. I did it way to tight and the mount fell off causing the hole. I would've welded it if it had it.
 
They're saying get the pipe welded instead of trying to find a replacement. Pull it off and go to your nearest exhaust shop.
 
Ya I know what they're saying but I still want that mount for the exhaust shield. I like having it on instead of burning my pants on it. It is an option that I'm aware of though.
 
Weld a mount / nut back on. Mine did that with no wire. It's from vibs. I reinforced all my mounts on the pipe w/ small mig welder at the shop. Be careful, it's thin and you can burn through if the amps to high.
