Dang it! Now I have something else besides a shift kit I absolutely cannot build my MB without.

No problem - we figure it's always best to have a look at the install instructions. If the details aren't there - feel free to ask. That way we both benefit!

I thought much the same about welding it when I first got mine... then well o'er a fifteen hundred miles later and still goin' strong with no ill effect I decided it's fine the way it is lol Besides, the spring retention system is great for reducing metal fatigue.

It's a lil odd that you've got melting issues, mine's been run hot & hard all day at WOT w/o that problem. There was just the tiniest smear at first, just once - when the pipes shifted just a little and settled into place. Do you have excessive movement in the system? Can you take some pics?

yeah, yeah... the Schwinn's gettin' crusty, I'm gonna pull it apart and replace/repaint as necessary when I get a mo' lol

My rubber pipe melted and cracked in no time so i replaced the copper with steel and welded it up.

I have to wonder if you are running a bit lean if your pipes get that hot. Silicone (not rubber) won't melt at these temperatures.

Pull out your spark plug and tell us what color it is.

It was our practice in industry to trust silicon up to 700deg. F. Given a good margin, I wouldn't use it on exhost. But, it really looks like you could use the help of a welder person and come up with a good pipe.
LUCK!
