Hello Folks. Back in the summer we had the front pipe break on our S-10 pickup, right at the flange where it connects to the rear pipe. The estimate to change the front pipe was $1200.00. So I took some time and came up with a fix. If I had access to a welder I could have given that a try, but so far the repair is holding, 5 months later. This repair cost about $30.00. Sorry about the slide show at the beginning, I am still working on my editing. Cheers Stahodad. (Sta-Ho-Dad).

Why not just chop both flanges off and put a small flex pipe over it with clamps? Cost about the same and will actually last.

@stevenrivers5168 2 года назад

Because the main side is fine so its a temporary fix before putting on the actual parts

Ya I would have done a replacement flange it would have been almost as cheap and a lot easier just slide it over the manifold pipe weld it or clamp it on and it would last longer then this jb weld job

@oxygen69able Год назад

You are right. That's the way to go. Just hack the shit off. Thanks for the suggestion.

Why not just cut the flange off all together and put a length of pipe in there with 2 muffler clamps?

@dannynica7480 2 года назад

you know why?? because if you need later on a middle pipe, then you would have to cut the new put and do this again, if you dont cut it like you say, then you just have those two bolts and just connect the new one

Whatever works! Yeah, they wanted $1200 on mine, too. Fixed it ten months ago with a tin can and four hose clamps.

Haha this is apparently such a common failure that no auto makers have addressed with proper anti corrosion coating at the muffler inlet flange weld. Just took mine in to get welded since it is on a relatively newer vehicle (2011 outlander) and dont want any future leaks from a new split flange joint

Great work. I like how you filled the gap with copper wire.

just because its on youtube doesnt mean its a good repair

@jonmo111 Год назад

good invention but it will not hold too long, jb weld will disintegrate before long from vibration and leak with alot of noise, great try tho

@786otto Год назад

Great video , they have a split flange that tighten around pipe.

Buy stainless steel pipes, make new exhaust

Cant say its a bad idea. Thanks for sharing. Still holding up? If not how long did the repair last? Thanks

@anthonygates7860 Месяц назад

All that shit you brought for repairs, grease, ,paint, etc. You could've got a whole new muffler system for $80.00 🤡

@wematanye533 Месяц назад

You forgot to add an extra 0 to your muffler system replacement cost estimate.

Will this repair pass a smog test? Or is this only to keep you from getting pulled over?

@bmfilmnut 2 года назад

I don't think this was a good repair and i don't know why you drilled the pipe and left copper wire inside the pipe. Why didn't you just form it and drive it in like packing? That aside, considering your time and expense, you could have simply had a local welder weld it properly for a few bucks. This repair made no sense for a variety of reasons.

Get a grinder with a cutting disc to cut the pipe, Lot quicker than a hacksaw.

I used JB weld high heat putty to repair this on my Maxima. Lasted for 3 months and got me through a state inspection.

30 years ago auto parts shops sold kits for this problem one end fit over the broken side. The other end had the matching flange to bolt to. Line up your parts slowly tighten and get the lager OD pipe drawn toward the flanges. Torque the flanges bolts and add a exhaust clamp around the connection of the kit pipe and the broken original pipe. Measure often cut once and drive away quietly.
