Tried High temp cement putty wrap clamps adapters. Has convinced me anything except weld will leak. Ebay has OEM fit parts my 20 year old truck for instance for 70$ beats trying to fit something together.

[@stephenhiguera4472]

I did that with the same jb weld and when it got hot the pipe came apart. I guna try welding what I can and then use the high heat jb weld to seal what I cant weld.

[@dw4940]

Ida used pipe clamps along with the jb.

Someone tried to cut out my sons catalytic converter they got one end cut off.. please make a video how to repair one.

my rear cats was stolen off my 2000 ford crown victoria police interceptor. i think im gonna have to do the same thing

[@hunterneumann9068]

Ah the days of my s10. Sounds like heaven

[@anivbarr8006]

Is this only for temporary? Have a older truck that i dnt really care to put money into and would love to do this for the noise

[@PhillipsVision]

Yes, you’ll need to weld if you want it permanent

[@anivbarr8006]

@@PhillipsVision sorry i meant would this also pass for a permanent fix? Thanks for the reply

[@PhillipsVision]

@@anivbarr8006 I wouldn’t recommend it for long term. For short term, yes.

Where can I take it to do this and add my new converter cus same shit happend to me they cut my shit out way to far to fit my new one

Thank you!... Very much!.. I like your video , watch everyday!. ❤️❤️❤️👍👍😂😂

[@stevenpollard5171]

To answer “Plastikpaintz’ question about how much would it cost to have an exhaust shop do this welded, I see signs up in shops that say they will not remove a cat or weld a pipe in unless they want to be shut down! The feds came to Quinlan years ago and removed these pipes from the local Western Auto.

[@JuanArellano-th8kf]

What store did you got the pipes from?

[@PhillipsVision]

Autozone

[@mroctober3583]

Caught thief halfway thru process... He cut completely thru one pipe but didn't finish... would I be okay just tightening a clamp/sleeve over it?

[@PhillipsVision]

Maybe, but still might get an exhaust leak

[@blakesomething4469]

I’m wondering if you know the affects of the oxygen sensor not being on the cat and communicating with the vehicle? I do know it’ll run more rich and for longer but do you know of a bypass or if it’s just fine without one?

[@PhillipsVision]

The O2 sensors help the ECU know how much fuel to inject. Without it the ECU will calculate its default setting which can result in bad fuel economy and poor performance.

[@blakesomething4469]

@@PhillipsVision much appreciated

[@starzanhorse4758]

Dang

[@andiizzle]

could i cut the muffler out, use clamps to connect a pipe from autozone and the existing pipe? so it would just be a muffler delete without the welding? or will that not be good long term

[@PhillipsVision]

Without being welded it will be loose and could pose problems. Without a muffler you will have a lot of noise and most likely get pulled over.

[@JamalTheCreator]

You’re a life savee

[@chadpugh1490]

People pay money for that sound lol.

[@alandemarest9952]

Is the diameter measured on the inside, or the outside of the pipe?

[@PhillipsVision]

Both. You have an inner diameter (I.D.) and outer diameter (O.D.). Both are spec’d on the pipe when you purchase them. You’ll want to match the inner on one and outer on the other when connecting them

[@MrBlackDog155]

Can you describe the removal/cleaning process when prepping for the actual weld?

[@PhillipsVision]

I use a steel brush to clean any surface of debris, then follow up with a hand-held grinder to expose the clean metal on both pieces where they will join.

[@jayhilton5429]

Couldnt you jist use clamps instead of jb weld?

[@PhillipsVision]

I found that unless you do a solid weld there will be exhaust leak and noise

[@famsquad7056]

Wow... Thanks bro someone stole mines lastnight

[@gustavotorres4668]

Can you possibly tell me if this also temporary fixed the acceleration problem as well you typically get when they steal the cat

[@PhillipsVision]

I didn’t notice any acceleration issues

[@chadpugh1490]

I wish Chevy would bring back the S10.

[@dw4940]

Why? They’d be worse junk then the generation I had 01. Lotsa them around, can pick up cheap. But I wudn get one made after early 90s

[@miguelfloriano9039]

can you just add clamps?

[@PhillipsVision]

If it’s not a tight bond you will have exhaust leaks and noise

[@kassandrajimenez9891]

Were did you buy the pipe and adapter

[@kassandrajimenez9891]

And do you have to have measurings for the pipe and adapter or can you buy any pipe and adapter had this happen just yesterday

[@PhillipsVision]

Autozone

[@aedgvv6095]

in that application JB weld would be better than weld = rust

[@plastikpaintz_p2431]

How much would that cost in a exhaust shop to add and wield on that piece of pipe

[@PhillipsVision]

Depends on their hourly rate. Probably around 4 hours...give or take

[@leecunha4442]

@@PhillipsVision all the shops near me get it done in about 30 min for 40 bucks

[@chad7188]

How long until it fell apart?

[@PhillipsVision]

This was a temporary fix until it could be welded, so it was not long.

[@thebloodragon2001]

What store did you buy the pipe from

[@PhillipsVision]

Advance Auto

[@bigbirderbob3710]

Someone stole the 🐱!

[@PhillipsVision]

Yep, in a quick time too

[@Jessica-hp5yw]

Somebody stole my Cadillac converter and cut the O2 sensor completely off can I do this

[@PhillipsVision]

Yes, but you’ll fail your emissions test if your state requires one. You may also have a rough idle due to the sensor being gone

[@raymurray1015]

What were the sizes you used

[@doneown503]

Yes , they identify, as sizes , & length,

My truck muffler was cut off, and I'm replacing it I've got some adapters and muffler tape I already got like 3 or so adapters to reconnect the pipes Does anyone know if it'll effect inspection?

[@PhillipsVision]

If the O2 sensors were cut off as well, or the catalytic converter, then you will fail. If it’s just the muffler you might not fail, if it’s just an emissions inspection

[@Mylotheblacknwhitecat]

​@PhillipsVision the catalytic converter in front was cut off and in back near the tailpipe I've been fixing it with id od adapters and muffler tape I'm just hoping it doesn't affect inspection?

[@guesswhomartin9249]

Somebody cut the pipe ??? That's odd. Sounds more like you cut the pipe purposely to make this video. No problem with that. Great video, probably one of the best videos I've seen on this topic. Good video. That you. Taught me a lot. The bad part is ; this is just a temporary fix. I'm looking for a permanent fix without the welding.

[@PhillipsVision]

It was cut by someone who stole the catalytic converter. I would not cut the exhaust pipe just for a video. This is a temp fix. You will need to weld it to be permanent

[@guesswhomartin9249]

@@PhillipsVision ... Ok..thank you for your response, but now we have another problem. Just adding an extended pipe ? Really ? Not putting in a new catalytic converter ? I thought all cars need a catty ???
