how much would it cost to bring it to a mechanic and have it alum-welded. I just need to rough estimate.

I have gone off-roading with it the same day but, after I checked all of the parts and they e're fine because I do some motocross also and its a habit of mine. I pulled out of the trails and was going 15mph down the dirt road and an unexpected large rock collided with the exhaust and snapped it off. Last time I go off-road with a scooter.

Thanks for the help. I have some connections to professional welders in my family so, I can get it done free or at a low cost. If that doesn't work I'll just replace the part.

is there anyway you can weld cast metal? I believe it's made of cast metal and i was wondering if i could weld the bolt holes back on it.

I thought of drilling new holes but, on the exhaust it has tabs hanging off where the bolts go though to hold the exhaust in place and unfortunately I can drill new holes into the exhaust either. I was thinking of placing a hose clamp or any type of tightening clamp around the air filter and one around the exhaust and bolting a piece of metal between them to hold it in place. I believe the part that is broken is part of the engine and if i wanted to replace it I'd have to replace the whole engine. But, as i said in my earlier post, thank you for the help and it's helped me come closer to resolving this issue.

My exhaust on my 2010 E-TON Beamer 3 Snapped off and I need some ideas on how to fix it. I can't weld it due to it being cast metal and the holes where the bolts go snapped completely off and my engine is mounted on the swing arm so, the exhaust needs to also be mounted to it as well. Any and all ideas are appreciated. Attachments:
