Exhaust Leak Repair on 2008 Chevy Aveo 

Thanks for the comment, and I hope it was genuine lol!

If you like the bike, be sure to check out the Project Frankenchop Playlist on our channel. The bike is very nearly complete! Thanks for the view and comment. I hope the video was at least entertaining if not informative haha

Love it! Nothing a little trampoline frame tubing can't fix ... or a "borrowed" piece of exhaust off your brother's project car lol

I've been daily driving it since that "repair" (about a month or so) and so far, so good haha. And I agree with you, I think it's very gratifying to make things work with what is available haha. Thanks for the view and comment!!

Definitely one of my least favorite parts of living in Ohio haha. And thanks for the kind words!

Glad it was helpful, thanks for the comment!

I'm no professional, but you may be able to cut out the damaged section of exhaust and replace it with some off the shelf exhaust pipe from your local auto parts store. I think they typically sell sections of pipe that are flared on each end? If so, you should be able to slip the new section of pipe onto the old pipe and use exhaust clamps to make the connection. I've personally never done this (as you saw in the video, I just keep welding in random pieces of scrap pipe haha), but have heard that people are successful with exhaust clamps. I wish you the best of luck, and hope this response was somewhat helpful!

Get some car ramps, a reciprocating saw with a metal blade, and buy a flex pipe section. A couple exhaust pipe clamps will keep it in place

Glad I could help lol. Good luck on your project!

Honestly, it's kind of hard to tell ... the ole girl probably only makes about 100 ponies to begin with haha. On a serious note, I did not notice a loss of power due to the exhaust leak

We've been slowly but surely pecking away at body work. There are a multitude of excuses explaining why it's taking us so long, but basically we just don't know what we're doing haha. I didn't want to make a million videos of us trying to straighten panels, apply body filler, sanding, etc. So, I'm trying to get clips as we go and am hopeful that I can make one video that shows all of the bodywork and paint prep. That's the plan anyway haha

To each their own, but its just not quite my style lol. Either way, the old lady was on my back to fix it because she was embarrassed to drive it haha

Also, have you defended yet!? Or are you still under the wrath of Dr. Walsh?? (Assuming that this is the Dillon S that I went to school with ... lol)

You know the answer to this.lol Caden and I both should be done here this semester if all goes to plan. I just hadn't had any motivation to work on it.

@@dillon8212 dannnngggg .... Caden's gonna be a black belt in BJJ by the time y'all finish up jk lol. Good luck man!! You'll have to let me know when you guys set a defense date. Maybe I'll come ask really easy questions and eat free cookies lol

Yah, we took far too long...Caden at least had an excuse.lol At this point, I just want to finished what I started. But yah I'll let you know when it is. It should be a good one to watch.lol

I do not know the answer to that. Luckily, where I live, we don't have vehicle inspections of any kind. I would GUESS that you'd be fine as long as you aren't tampering with the catalytic converter. But again, I do not know. Good luck!!

Ehh, where's the fun in that. The danger makes it exciting lol 😆

According to the title it is?? What year do you think it is?
