Whatever works! Yeah, they wanted $1200 on mine, too. Fixed it ten months ago with a tin can and four hose clamps.

Why not just chop both flanges off and put a small flex pipe over it with clamps? Cost about the same and will actually last.

Because the main side is fine so its a temporary fix before putting on the actual parts

Ya I would have done a replacement flange it would have been almost as cheap and a lot easier just slide it over the manifold pipe weld it or clamp it on and it would last longer then this jb weld job

30 years ago auto parts shops sold kits for this problem one end fit over the broken side. The other end had the matching flange to bolt to. Line up your parts slowly tighten and get the lager OD pipe drawn toward the flanges. Torque the flanges bolts and add a exhaust clamp around the connection of the kit pipe and the broken original pipe. Measure often cut once and drive away quietly.

Haha this is apparently such a common failure that no auto makers have addressed with proper anti corrosion coating at the muffler inlet flange weld. Just took mine in to get welded since it is on a relatively newer vehicle (2011 outlander) and dont want any future leaks from a new split flange joint

Why not just cut the flange off all together and put a length of pipe in there with 2 muffler clamps?
@dannynica7480
2 жыл бұрын
you know why?? because if you need later on a middle pipe, then you would have to cut the new put and do this again, if you dont cut it like you say, then you just have those two bolts and just connect the new one

Get a grinder with a cutting disc to cut the pipe, Lot quicker than a hacksaw.

I don't think this was a good repair and i don't know why you drilled the pipe and left copper wire inside the pipe. Why didn't you just form it and drive it in like packing? That aside, considering your time and expense, you could have simply had a local welder weld it properly for a few bucks. This repair made no sense for a variety of reasons.
