jeyrapboy Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Alright you guys quick question i have a leaky exhaust manifold on my jeep. Right at the collector weld... Was wondering if i used JB weld or a similar exhaust patch will it hold up temporally? Guys at autozone said it "should" just thought i would get a second opinion... This is by no means a permanent fix.. But i would like it to hold up for a month or so till i can gather the funds to buy a new one and replace it.

mothra Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 you'll be fine as long as it's applied well. it'll either last a few weeks or few years, no real way to tell other than just doing it.

rusty959 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 They also make things specifically for fixing exhaust leaks like that. I used to have some that was a paste like tube that would go on similarly to jb weld and they also have wraps. Id say just check out a local auto parts store.

EclipseChris Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 If it is easily accessed just find someone who can weld and weld it.
