Hole in exhaust pipe

[Rdessewffy]

I grinded all the paint off and when I got to this spot it looked like body filler was in there. I took it all out and this is what I'm left with. Anyone come across this issue? Can I actually use Duraglass filler to fix it? Hope I dont need a new pipe.... thanks all....

Grind it smooth and take it to an aluminim welder to weld a new circular patch. I would do both of them on the bottom of the pipe to be safe if you plan on keeping the ski. This happens to pretty much every 787 pipe.

As said above it's very, very, very common on the 787 pipes.
@racerxxx sells the aluminum slugs really cheap and you should always do the two bottom ones.

Trust us, do both of the bottom ones or you’ll be doing it again.
