if i have a exhasut thats cut into a couple sections, how well do the exhuast clamps work over welding it all together? ive been getting some rediculous quotes on welding the exhaust back together, seems like i can use these clamps myself, and i can take it off my car and put my stock one on whenever id like. are these stainless clamps just as good as welding, as in no leaks? any input?

 

Tom, let me send you a link. Guve me a minute,

not bad jimmy let me send you the exhuast to make sure it'll work

 

Those are nice..
But get it welded.

NO chance for leaks.. fail safe... Looks Nicer.

 

Weld it. End of story.

 

Thankyou .

 

How much? I had my exhaust welded on for something like $50, and that was with letting me and my friend hang around all morning putting on everything from the header back, and removing my old rusted stock exhaust.

Ours was a buddy at a shop that was cool about just doing welding for some cash on the side. Your mileage may vary.

 

^^^^ ive been told like "we charge $70 an hour, and it sounds like a 3 hour job to weld it together" keep in mind in adding a second resonator

 

I'm sure there's a car club around your city, just ask them where the cheap, low traffic shop is. It may appear kind of skeezy, but they'll generally work under the table for cash and go the extra yard for ya.

When I had my exhaust put on, I noticed that the muffler would kind of shake around in the back (due to the weight of all that stainless steel and stretchy rubber hangers). I swung back and the guy welded up a bracket that fixed the problem completely, and he wasn't even going to charge me.

It's that sort of service that has my whole club going there exclusively.

 

i paid $65 for a resonator, and to have it welded in... including welding the rest of the exhaust....

 

what kind of shops are you guys going to? im getting ripped off up here

 

I just went to a local muffler shop...

 

Same. Small local non-chain shop. Sort of a "guy in a garage" feel to it. Like I said, they'll tend to look kinda skeezy but they'll do it cheap and it'll work fine.
