Definitely quieter. That smoke filled the drivers area. Haha. I did something very similar using an old piece of galvanized tubing from a dryer vent hood. Wrapped it around the two separated ends of a broken exhaust (from rust) and a clamp on each end. Took care of the noise, passed emissions check and last for about three years (in the North Eastern Rust Belt area). Called it my hillbilly fix. But only costs me buying two clamps.

Like night and day the difference in the sounds. I did the same thing this afternoon on my Corolla. Went from sounding like an over-fed dirt bike to dead silent. Goddamn, I love these simple fixes.

Nice!! I just worked on my exhaust pipe as well i used basic exhaust patch tape then exhaust clamp and im good. I just got to cut my pipe short to make it higher

Pay the extra for braided flexible bellows. Use some gasket goo or exhaust repair putty between the original pipe and sleeve under each clamp. The longer you can leave the finished repair to cure before you start the engine again, the better. The end result is a much more durable repair that will last a lot longer since it will be able to handle jolts and vibrations. (tip, attach the clamps sidways rather than having the bolts facing down, this will reduce the chance of the bolts getting hung up on a kerb, rock or tree stump and ripping the exhaust off. Trimming back the bolts also helps.)

My cars worth like $700. This is perfect

Finally the only smart person who said in video where he bought the stuff

Thank you for this video....good idea to put cuts in for the bend....I might need that

You've just saved me a lot of expence! Thank you 😃

Thank You, had no idea this flex pipe was available. My couplers are still too loose and your choice will beat the pants off trying to fill the current gaps with something as yet unknown.

Good video! Thanks for sharing.

I’m so relieved to find your video... I bought wrong type of pipe extension that is too long and I have no way to cut it down and I paid $25 for parts vs a third of what you paid and Is these pipe flex repair still available?? Right now my exhaust is just hanging,dragging and loud thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Thanks I need to do two cars. This is perfect

Good job, buddy.

Sounds a lot better. Congratulations a successful exhaust patch.

I just want to know how long did it take the pipe to rust? I live in the northeast and I am considering to use this or just clamp the broken piece back with some adapters and clamps

Fabulous!!!

Thieves use cordless sawzalls to steal catalytic converters. Looks like they got interrupted and left before they could finish. The trick to get a good seal with flex pipe or exhaust adapters etc., is to get the size that is the diameter of the pipe you are patching. If the exhaust pipe is 1 3/4" then get 1 3/4 inch flex pipe etc. It's measured from the inner diameter, I.D. Also get 1 3/4" clamps. You want the flex pipe to barely fit over the exhaust pipe you are patching. You can rent a tail pipe expander from the auto parts store and stretch the flex pipe or adapters slightly if needed to fit over the exhaust pipe.

Does it muffler the noise or will it be loud even when replaced with this?

How flexible is this stuff?

Really neat way to approach the problem like most of the rest of us have to, question, how did it hold up over time?

Thank you ☺️

It looks like there was a couple holes/slits in the exhaust piece you put on. Still quieter though and great video!

Yep there's definitely something else wrong with your vehicle and that is why it still sounds super super loud or whoever's vehicle that is cuz the guy just did mine I waited an hour started it super quiet no more hesitation this definitely does work temporarily until you can get the money in of course to buy the new flexpipe

Great Vid, Does anyone have, the link to this sleeve or an update on where to get it ?

U cab use high temp silicone ir furnace door asbestos rope at ends to seal leaks

I have a lexus is250C, I bought an exhaust saying it would fit the C trim but the pip just slightly misaligns, any tips or products that could help them fit/reach?

2nd gen 4runner? Frame looks in great condition!

Does it leak at all? Having the same issue on my escape

I wish this is available in australia

It looked like it had splits in it when you went under your car?

Some one help lol Mine did not tighten up enough i guess cause theres still like air pressure coming out from ewhere the cats where Does it affect the car

Can I replace exhaust flex pipe with that flexible exhaust pipe repair kit? What do you think?

Where did you buy the pipe from

You ran the engine past redline and not under load..! Real smart... 🤨

Runs a little rough he says! 😁

I was at advance auto parts today and I was trying to decide between that product that you have or just getting a flex pipe which I’m getting

Would this pass inspection?

Nice! Was that patch on the front pipe, the one that connects directly to the exhaust manifold? Also, how is that patch holding up all these months since you made the repair?

How long did it last..? Exhaust fumes probably punched some hole somewhere else.

That thing's exhausting! Haha

This things exhausting 🤣😂

Damn thieves stole mine this morning.

Clever cheap touch-up until you get to have a new complete exhaust fitted.

How long does it last

"I cut the exhaust because I was a dunbass and thought it would sound like a v8"

Sounds like some exhaust leak on manifold.

Made it way more complicated than you needed to. Measure pipe outside diameter and just get a butt splice connector and 2 clamps no cutting and cheaper than flex pipe

Shouldve cut that flex shit unless u clamp well cause it makes it weaker it wil tare apart like a slinky i learnd the hard way just a tip

Muffle shop charge 144 install muffler I must try ur method

Ima give it a try I got my cat stolen they left my exhaust 7.5 it’s to damn loud

Why are there holes in it

Catalytic converter On 2004 Monterrey minivan

Looks like they may have had a catalytic converter issue and cut it to breath

It dosent last a awhile but cheap easy fix just clamp well

update on how it held up?

Does the odometer read 571,000 miles? If so, buy Toyota.

Where you get it for 7 bux

So I'm making excuses that it's a friend's truck

When you say destroyed by some people , do you mean they cut his exauhst ?

repair wont pass state inspection where i live. sorry

Trim back farther to a more straight point and then install flex pipe

Hi cutie🥰💋

Shouldnt i meant

Never rev an engine without a load on it, especially when just after a cold start the oil is not up to temperature and is not lubricating the critical parts of your engine cam and crank bearings!

Measuring tape lol

That sounds better cut

Doesn't work for long time

That is one crappy repair my friend, the flex wasn't the fix.

solution that chinese would not use...

Get some JB weld and path around it then you won’t need clamps either
