thanks for the video i had the same problem on my 2014 impala and the muffler shop wanted $600 and up to repair it. you showed me a good cheap quick fix thank you sir.

Thanks for the your video. I had the same idea to fix broken section of my exhaust pipe but was planning to cut a piece off both ends so I could go and size up a good fitting adapter at the store which has a snug fit on both ends. Then put a good high temperature sealant on the pipe so no exhaust noise. Before I clamp down both ends might look for good muffler tape to to wrap around the adapter and pipe. Not sure yet. But seeing your video helps a lot. Thanks!

Thanks for the awesome video. You taught me something

literally what i was about to do, thank you for this vid

A most useful presentation. Thank you for sharing

Great video thanks I have the same problem can't wait to try 😊

Just what the doctor ordered. Just had my exhaust flange completely rust off my 2005 toyota corolla so this video could not have come at a better time !

Good job!

GOOD VIDEO THAKS

I had no idea the sealant existed. Excellent tips. Thanks for the video!

Genius brother

I just had the very same problem went to my mechanic he weilded it lasted 2 days.53$.now I have to fix myself like you showed me .Thanks very much

Great video! Was wonder what was the size of your exhaust and what size adaptor did you use to fit over it?

good video. If you use sealant pre cat, make sure there is no silicone in it, it could destroy your cat. Also, little hint, try not to tighten clamps where the nuts are down because when you drive, they could catch road debris

Great video, especially since I have the exact same problem right now.

That was great. Now, do one with bad flanges using a split flange. Many on here but none go into details about replacing the donut or flat gasket between flanges. I'm confused.

great job

Hey nice video, just had this exact thing happend to me. Also nice intro there. Might i suggest roundabout by yes as an intro for a future video

Better to cut four groves in each end to clamp tighter

Yes Good comments by vehicle owners Bad comments by exhaust techs

thanks...

Great video, I'll do the same. Is ok to use gasket maker (high temperature copper one) instead of the sealant?

what sealant did you use ? or whats it called ?

thats what i need to do! did you check for leaks? do you think its strong enough?

Hi Original Mechanic, where did you buy the Butt splice? I had the same problem you just fixed happen to me today. If you could please let me know I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

is this legal for safety inspection in pennsylvania

usually these connectors are 4 inches long but your seems to be much longer

Link for the clamps??

Used can of soup customized will do the job

I hate those damn clamps, attracts rust like a magnet

The parts House sell a universal flange repair this problem

Mine brok right at the cat

I clicked on this by accident, this just made me realize I did a temporary exhaust repair really stupidly, and I'm not usually stupid. Why is the camera quality so bad? This was 2016 lol

good, only, not so sure the sealant is going to help anything, don't think any liquids work on exhaust fixes, matter of fact, it might turn into a lubricant at high temp later down the road and cause things to loosen up. you can look into it, but I got a big "I don't think so" on the liquid sealant

not a bad quick fix...save some bucks..cudos

Use band clamp. At what planet you live?

What the fuck wipe em off just put the fucking things together and clamp it looks like scrap anyway time for a better exhaust

I'm new to exhaust repairs - in the middle of a break doing one now, and welding too, but I think it would've been best to do it in a professional method, and in not doing so, you were "penny wise, pound foolish". Drop the exhaust if necessary, grind off all the rust with a grinder and wire attachments, MIG weld in 2 flanges with a gasket in the middle, and bolt them together. Right? Eliminating the flange joint can make the exhaust system much harder to work on in the future! I thought I was going to learn something from you, until about 4:07 when your rust cleaning consisted of brushing them off, and using lacquer thinner, then you went for some pipe sealer. Really? Is that recommended by the pipe sealant manufacturer - on hot exhaust surfaces - because I had no idea something like that existed? Only ideas I liked was using that cable and cable lock, and jack for support, so I guess you did something right. Thanks for your time.
