How To Patch Up Exhaust Without Welding

[@tomm8025]

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.

[@NorthForkFisherman]

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.

[@Noises]

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.)

[@ragnaroksangel]

Kerb isn't a fucking word. CURB is the word you're looking for.

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

[@vinnienauta]

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

[@2inHeartattack]

My cars worth like $700. This is perfect

[@LoyaltyOverFreedom]

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

[@kmil1967]

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 👍🏼

[@bikemann6548]

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.

[@GameGeezer]

Glad to help =D You can also use some JB weld quick steel puddy. Its like 5 bucks at walmart and helps cover little holes and rust holes easy and dries in 1 hour

[@chrisortiz8072]

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

[@matthewmrozowski7017]

How flexible is this stuff?

[@dickymint7083]

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

[@TheSTeWMaN29]

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

[@Da_GrandiMan]

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

[@blazeboyblazeboy4470]

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

[@diamondnthedirt7499]

Would this pass inspection?

[@notoriousgio_]

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

[@JohnSmith-mk8hz]

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.

[@michaelharris867]

so im going to attempt to do this on mine i mesaured and it is 2 inch , so shoud i get a 2 inch or 2 and 1/8?

[@JohnSmith-mk8hz]

@@michaelharris867 If the pipe you are repairing is 2 inch outer diameter, then get 2" flex pipe. They measure repair flex pipe and other repair pipe from the inner diameter so it fits over 2 inch outer diameter pipe. Also, those flex pipe kits only come with one clamp so get another 2 inch clamp. You will possibly need to rent a tail pipe expander to slightly stretch the flex pipe to fit over your exhaust. You want it to be a snug fit so it will seal properly.

[@chrisjones7807]

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

[@jamescrabb8766]

Sounds a lot better. Congratulations a successful exhaust patch.

[@GameGeezer]

Glad to help! Enjoy smoother sound😀 Thanks for watching

[@daby8399]

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

[@gasgiant7122]

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

[@GameGeezer]

No splits in the sleeve but the old exhaust on that car was cut for some reason so I just used a sleeve to patch that lawnmower noise up lol

[@GameGeezer]

You could cut a sleeve to slip it over a tube that’s not cut and maybe just has a small hole

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?

[@GameGeezer]

Maybe could get the pipe bent at an exhaust shop to line up exactly. Hard for me to say without seeing the part that’s offset .

Where did you buy the pipe from

[@johan_GT4.6]

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

[@TheHmurveit]

@@Damontejackson9160 after taking several pictures, the flex pipe wasn't the issue it was between the two pipes So I couldn't do it and after asking probably 4,5 mechanics one finally fixed it at a decent price. whereas the previous one's wanted several thousand dollars

[@temelon]

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

[@dylanmounsey7515]

You can buy different flex pipe n shit too

[@pcno2832]

I was wondering the same thing. My original flex pipe section (2005 Accord V6) was short, but covered over with wire braiding. The aftermarket replacements, for whatever reason, are only lasting about a year. So, I'm wondering if I cut the pipe to the last converter back some, then put in a long section of this stuff, maybe wrapping it in muffler bandage and putty, will it be long enough to flex without breaking. If I keep the car long enough, I might give it a try.

[@GameGeezer]

Just depends on the car , it holds up pretty well. Wouldn’t count on longer than a year.

[@ganz7ful]

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

[@GameGeezer]

That’s what I was expecting but it’s still holding up nicely.

[@YouTubeTeachingAsherShafi]

Just remember the golden rule, straight pipes are only for diesels, anything with 8 or more cylinders, or a Vr6. Everything else should have at least a form of a muffler, and yes a turbo is a suitable muffler. Try manyautosltd.com/exhaust-repair Easy, friendly customer service. I'll definitely be back next time I need repair work.

[@robwilson1140]

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

[@GameGeezer]

Never seen anything like that for exhaust pipes. Sounds interesting. I’m just reminded of butt connectors for electrical wiring lol

[@robwilson1140]

GameGeezer They are located in the same spot where you find exhaust pipe parts at any auto parts place. Perfect for joining pipe of the same size or adaptors for different size pipe.

[@thebullshorns4104]

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

[@seancrane4364]

Explain, but to someone who isnt fully educated

Sean Crane catalytic converter clogged / failed. Car starts running like shit, cut the pipe BEFORE the catalytic converter as to bypass the cat allowing the engine to breathe, bypass the clogged car to let the exhaust gas scavenge / Escape

Yeah it’s still holding up great. No more lawn mower sound and it passed inspection. A good cheap fix if you can’t get a weld shop to help. Some places will meld things like that for 20 bucks . Otherwise I use this trick if I’m able
