Hi all! I need help understanding what parts and how much the repair cost will be for my exhaust. I need to get through inspection this month so any help is wonderful!




Meineke originally boot a boot on this part but obviously it was crap. So what do I need in order to fix this? This is the part of the exhaust near the front of the car.


It's #2 on this diagram

buy a new #2 which is a flex pipe, some new gaskets for each end and bolt it in.


the picture of your broken exhaust will not enlarge so I can't see it well enough to determine a fix. It probably is junk and a new part should be put on.

 

Is this a better pic?

yep


not repairable. you could cut out the bad section and splice in a new flex pipe. they do may just he flex section. It may be cheaper but would be more monkeying around. Easier fix is to buy pipe #2.

 

Well see that's the issue, that black cover on the thing is meineke attempt at fixing the first issue. And this ticks me off because they only fixed it 2 months ago and now I have to go through inspection.

 

aftermarket muffler shops sell the thinnest cheapest exhaust crap.
