Default Exhaust Problem-What Do i Do?


I am currently sporting the Buddy Club Spec III Exhaust just fyi.
I was driving yesterday and i took a turn rather sharp and my exhaust completely changed pitch.

It went from being all throughout the cabin to just being on one side. Does that make sense?

I used to hear it just envelop the interior but now it's only one the passenger side and it sounds like my friends cars who are running no cat.

If anyone has anything let me know. TIA.

here are pictures i just took. sorry for the blurry pic and the size, but its the only way to show it.

Clean it thoroughly, inside & outside before even attempt welding it.
That is something you can do yourself and will improve chances of succes.

Then it should be possible to weld it IMO.
A weld is usually stronger then the metal surrounding a weld due to heat stress.
Let it cool slowly.

Just about any muffler shop shold be able to fix that up for you. Hopefully you can find one that isn't lazy and will remove it from the car and TIG weld that up for you rather then just sticking the MIG gun up there and welding away.
