Re: Exhaust System Repair Tools 200 90

Dude, exhaust system repair is the last bastion of the service centers. I've been fixing my own cars for over 15 yrs., and I can do pretty much any thing, but e.pipes drive me crazy. It seems that it should be so simple, but everything is rusted and stuck etc... Most important tool is a grinder. Sometimes I pull everything apart and do as much assembly as I can then end up going to the muffler guy for the last bit.

Go to your parts place and price all the repair parts, then go to a muffler guy and get him to give you a written estimate. If there's less than $50 differnence between the two get buddy to do it.

With propper fitting parts you don't need a torch on a 200. If you need one you can rent a mig or an arc welder. It's kinda not the right place to learn welding. But if you must, practice on your old pipes first.
