Title: JB Weld entire exhaust?
Post by: Gold DA9 on July 28, 2009, 07:16:49 PM: Has anyone here dont this? Just thinking i may do it to replace a large section of exhaust for free just to get it to pass inspection.

Post by: civiceggturbo on July 28, 2009, 07:29:36 PM: i highly doubt that would pass, a fluxcore harbor freight welder is what 50 used?

Post by: Toysrme on July 29, 2009, 07:55:17 AM: if you had a GOOD pipe expander (not a HF POS) you could do it aways after the cat.
remember that epoxies cure & uncure with heat. i would doubt the ability of it to hold the entire thing together with the vibrations once the heat softened it any amount.

Post by: HiProfile on July 29, 2009, 12:38:55 PM: If you want to epoxy an expanded joint, you may as well do what they've done for decades. Use "exhaust clamps". It's a u-bolt with a rounded plate to bolt to, so it clamps all around. Will be close to the price of JB weld per joint, too.

BTW if you go to almost any smaller exhaust shop, they will hydralicly expand you pipes for cheap.

Post by: Gold DA9 on July 29, 2009, 07:38:27 PM: i remember alot about oczc. Where the hell is my original post count and og status.

I took another look under the car. The pipe looks like it broke off after the flex pipe, and the next piece to connect to is cracked about 8-10inches. So i got to replace it all. Talking to this guy the has a 2.25 to 2.5in exhaust supposed to connect to stock cat.

Post by: t_cel_t on July 29, 2009, 09:51:15 PM: get some of these band style exhaust clamps, they seal super fucking tight yet you can take them off in about 30 sec. it does not deform the pipe like the u-clamps do.

Post by: rawr on July 30, 2009, 02:28:44 AM: Around here we have exhaust shops that will fix just about anything for like 20-30 dollars. Dont' you have anything like that around there?
Title: Re: JB Weld entire exhaust?
Post by: Teg2boo on July 30, 2009, 09:50:47 AM: Mine broke just after the cat. I bought a 6$ (expensive shit) 2" ID to 1" 5/8 OD and push it in the cat with a hammer.

It hold good after 1 month and I didnt weld/JB weld anything.

Just buy a 2" to 2" adapter, put muffler potty, paint it. VoilÃ !

These are the best. I bought one of these from summit and it's just awesome. Seals fucking PERFECT and like you said takes 30 seconds to undo. Cheap too.
