My first Electra Glide was a 1989 FLHS... that pipe broke in Granada, Spain with about 35,000 on the bike. Had a welder weld it and changed to the new pipe (reinforced from the factory) havent had one fail since.. Thought that problem was solved.
 
I assume you are tig welding the pipe. We used to use this gray powder and mix it with alcohol into a paste and paint it onto both sides of where the weld was going to be. Unfortunately I don't remember what it's called. We had to use it on a lot of certified welding jobs I did when I was a sheet metal worker. If you are welding for a living you may know what I'm referring to.
 
Apparently, cracked "Y" pipes are not uncommon. After mine cracked twice and was repaired twice on my '04 Road King, I started thinking about getting a new bike anyway... my new bike doesn't have a "Y" pipe and I'm happy about that! Consider a two-into-one, you will gain noticible power and never have a cracked "Y" pipe again.
