How to Make a Lasting Repair on an Exhaust Pipe Leak

Fixing exhaust pipe leaks due to holes can be frustrating. They tend to blow back open under the twin assault of heat and pressure. I found a DIY fix that will last for years, not weeks or months.

This is exhausting.

I used stovepipe on my resonator with band clamps. It beat paying $4-500 for new exhausts.

Great thanks

Great video! Is this still holding up and quiet today?

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

Thanks. This did require a redo just a few months ago. The gauge of metal I used was just too thin. This time I used a much heavier piece of sheet metal and I expect it will hold up much longer. Thanks for watching!

Nice! My old diesel rabbit vibrates those hose clamps off though 😂

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

I feel you. Sounds like a place for standard exhaust clamps.

@@TheOriginalMechanic hello want to ask you about a video you did on a 2010 toyota corolla around 5 yrs ago

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

@@Blu-ManSure, fire away

[@Blu-Man]

@@TheOriginalMechanic the 2010 Toyota Corolla you did 5 yrs back installing new headlight assembly did you have to adjust the height where is the adjustment screw ? And do you use led bright bulbs ?

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

@@Blu-Man I did not have to adjust the screw. I am not sure of its location and I no longer have this vehicle. I used standard replacement bulbs. Thanks for watching and I wish you luck with your repairs.

Can rtv go on the outrer edges for leakage?

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

I don't think RTV, but exhaust sealant is a good idea.

If u had power tools then there would be no use of speeding up the video😴

[@TheOriginalMechanic]

I have those but then I would have to find the tool, charge the battery, and cut the decibel level on the audio track. That's so much extra work lol
