Patching An Exhaust Leak????

[Kyle97GMC]

Do any of you guys have any secrets or know of something that actually patches exhaust leaks. I have a few and my welder can't get to them because they are too close to the heat shield and it doesn't fit. I have tried the AutoZone wraps and haven't had any luck at all. Anything helps they are just starting to bug me. Thanks!

Take it to an exhaust shop, homie. The shop that redid my whole exhaust left a bunch of leaks so took it back like, months later and the welded them up free of charge. Mine were in the same spot, by the heat shield.

summit and such has clamps that are a couple inches wide that go over the pipe like a clam shell them you tighten them down, cant remember what they are called. I need to do mine also.

We did it ourselves and all the exhaust shops won't just patch the leak they all want to redo my whole setup and the cheapest any of them will do it for is $300. I am not paying that much when it is two little leaks! Will the JB Weld work? How much are those clamps?

Either buy a stainless band clamp in the appropriate size, weld in a patch, replace the piece of tubing... any number of ways to skin that cat.

band clamp is about 8 bucks from summit

Alright cool. I will try the JB Weld and see what happens! If it doesn't work I will have to re run it I guess

I heard from my friend that furnace cement can fix exhaust leak, though I haven't tried it yet.
