muffler packing gone. non-standard size. replacement cost more than the bike. 1981 CB750C Honda

heyo

i put the model last since it's sort of a model non-specific question.

last week, the baffle and packing blew out of my exhaust on the highway. i am unable to find a suitable slip-on due to the aftermarket 4-into-1 headers, ending in a 2.25" collector at an awkward angle.

replacing the entire exhaust will cost me over a grand, when the bike cost me $1200 nearly ten years ago. i'd like to keep it on the road, but i'm worried about the other issues just waiting to pop up (it's over 86k kms / ~53k miles).

i've thought about a couple of other options. either i could custom fabricate new baffles, or possibly jam one of those adjustable silencers for cars into the existing can.

would love any advice, as well as anyone willing to talk me out of parking this or selling it for parts and buying a royal enfield.

hondas aren't supposed to die

thanks in advance

help me, shirt siblings. need a 5 character vanity plate

i want to get a solid ITYSL vanity plate for my motorcycle. CHODE is available but i don't think they'll issue it.

maximum five characters. i have the checker open and will check everyone's suggestions. if we can find a good one i'll legit buy it.

EDIT: keep going cause other people with motorcycles can benefit from these excellent ideas. i went with TABLZ
