Integras used to have a problem with the A pipe internal welds cracking and
the pipe vibrating at around 3300 RPM.

Is that repairable or is a new A pipe needed when that happens?

I've seen a suggestion for cutting 2 close slots in the outer pipe and
dimpling in the middle(.125 width)to contact the inner tube and brazing the
whole thing together and closed,and that solving the buzz,but I have not
tried it.
When I get ambitious,I intend to.
New A pipe is expensive,if obtainable at all(94 3dr GSR).
