Is it hard-mounted?  The original has the goat-bladder stuff under the bike that makes it a rubber mount. All the aftermarket drifter pipes used the existing rear foot peg, eliminated the goat bladder and didn't provide a rubber mount bracket... so aftermarket/replacement pipes ended up being hard-mounted. Besides the increase in vibration, it also stresses the pipes and many failed as a result.

Good luck with this.

What kind of exhaust and what broke?

Not sure about that 97 exhaust... that's the right pn for the harley gaskets.
