    Can anyone on here weld stainless steel? (and has the equipment to do so)
    My exhaust rattles and I've finally diagnosed the problem! The centre divider in the exhaust chamber (the 4 into 1 box that sits under the engine) has broken free from two of its welds, causing it to rapidly knock and vibrate against the outer chamber. This is very loud and most embarrassing while riding! I've thought about mauling it to create a gap large enough so there is no contact, but it's proving more difficult than anticipated, so a couple of welds would do the trick perfectly.
    Thanks!
