Mr DeeBeez Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 My exhaust broke right before my muffler. Rusted out and snapped off. There isn't enough pipe on the muffler side to clamp it. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix? Or what would you do? I do have a welder, but Idk if welding it would really work with it being rusted. Could get new muffler, but want to try and fix it if I can. Thanks in advance!

Cut off the rusted sections, buy a short 2" long piece of tube (whatever diameter you have) and weld the new section in without the flange.

s5300 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah. I would try to even telescope some tubing over it and weld the overlap. But maybe duct tape.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Didn't think about cutting right behind the flange and putting tuning in. That's a good idea. Thanks!!

Wishuponasub Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Cut the muffler out and straight pipe it Sitting around waiting to be installed: 4 FI X 10 270 CES alt D3400/73ah lithium AA 3800.1 (2) AA 75.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Fixed! didn't weld it, so it's kinda a temp fix. But cut the flange off, wrapped the ends of each pipe with fiberglass wrap, and put flex pipe over all of it with some exhaust clamps. May not be the best fix, but cost me $20 and about an hour of time so I'm happy. As long as it lasts through winter at least I'll be happy. Thanks for all your help!

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Buy yourself a cat back for Christmas. Even if you do a good repair on that section, another section or the muffler is getting ready to go out. I used to patch things up and get them going but I am getting too old to lay under a vehicle any more than I have to. I have even made complete dual exhaust setups out of electrical conduit EMT but they only last a few years and is no longer worth it to me to do even though the conduit is free scrap that I scavenged. Now I use stainless mufflers, tubes and mandrel bends from Summit Racing. The only thing worse that fixing something is fixing it again. Ps. Make sure you wear eye protection to keep the rust out of your eyes. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
