Do the aftermarket exhaust systems available for the 02 500HO replace the full head pipe? If so, what brands do or do not replace it? Im meaning the short head pipe up front. Mine is rusted badly and I hate to put on new exhaust and have that section break in the future.

 

They make both full and slip ons if you want. "Big Gun" is one but there are more out there like Aaen.
