I used 3 feet of Titanium Header exhaust heat wrap for the first layer and about 5 feet for the second layer wrapped with metal mesh

Thanks for the video! This is exactly what I need to do to prove my point to the muffler shop who replaced my flex pipe. I think the new flex pipe they welded in is letting exhaust gases leak through the steel mesh, hence the strong exhaust smell coming from my hood, it also triggering the check engine light a day after the repair. The OBDII codes now showing both O2 sensors or exhaust leak.

Yeah once you replace your flex pipe your O2 sensors could start going bad because the O2 sensors have to function off the flex pipe being cracked so once you fix it it makes them go bad
There is no ,DIY,project,,u just rap, n put wire,n u say DIY,already,,better check your ,Brain,,ha ha ha

0:42 it’s called titanium heat wrap and it sucks. It has a temperature rating around 800 Fahrenheit while your manifold has a temperature around 1200 Fahrenheit. It’ll work for a couple weeks and then I’ll burn off. The whole time you’ll be wondering what’s that burning smell.
Hi Josh, i did that because I ordered the new part on ebay and 2 weeks after i got it and yes i started to burn and smelly yark!!
but i worked in the mean time :)
Max
At the end of the day...it will cost you more to get it fixed...the internals will rust out and then the wrapping will just fall apart. Just replace the flex joint with a new one.
I know, in this movie, i order a new flex down pipe, and i took 2 weeks to get in, in the mean time I patched up my car!! Thank you for watching and please Subscribe.
@@Kickstartyourcar Why did it take so long to get it installed?
@@bobburnell5033 hi bob, as soon as i noticed it was the broken flex pipe the problem, i ordered one from ebay, but it took 2 weeks to get it, in the meantime i tried something else to fix it. Thank you
lolll, i need to fix my flexpipe too... aaaaand i have an 02 mdx, this video was made for me lol
Wow that`s GREAT :)
Thank you, comments like that keeps me making more videos :)
2:25 another boute ahahah parfait !
Voila, bonne journée
Hahahaha sérieux merci ça a marcher ton truc !
Smear the old one with a good layer of silicon rubber and then wrap something around it ant it will stand all the heat. I have used silicon to glue the fire brick into a fire place and it lasts forever. It will stand up to almost red heat.
Thank you, I'll try that the next time :) and I'll make a video about it, thank you again for the tip :)

This wont stop the leak at all. You'll be amazed how exhaust fumes will find a way out. Tried a wrap myself and it blew through it.
Not wrapping it gir the smell , wrapping it for the sound.
@@MRxhalemotorsports1 did wrapping yours decrease the sound?
yes it was a bit less louder, and it was a great solution in the mean time it took to get the new down pipe replace, 2 weeks after.
Max
This will last about as long as this video
hahaha
LOL
It lasted about 2 weeks, just in time to get the new down pipe installed :)
i used like tin can material but bigger coffeecan on small flex so big it went at least two circles or more cut inch or two in ends with finger wide space between cuts so can can come down on ends and it worked today in the way l wanted , the power of car is more cos backpressure is better. but how long to melt the can dunno cos it leaks a bit , but small leak is better for gas milage , cat seems too tight.
I'm sure it sounds ok! and it cost not much $$ :)
hahaha ''euuuh i took another boutte of 4 feet''. t'es drole max! We talk pareil là!
Hi Bana Narama :) Je sais mon parler des fois es tes mixed up :) but these are the bloopers but I leave theme there :) I find it very drole :)
Thank you

Max, how does the mesh tape prevent exhaust from leaking through it?
Hi Baskerball film, it. helped for about 2 weeks, it was just a little fix until my new flex pipe came in about 2 weeks after!
It was a temporale fix up.
Thank you
Max
junk yard has the y pipe for under $10...
I know but these cars are rare in junk yards in my region!
plus i would think that requires more work to take off the old pipe and install the new one
Exhaust will leak through that. Should have sealed it first.
I learned it the wrong way lol, but about 1 week later the new bosal down pipe was installed and it sounds so smooth since! Thank you
Nice job but i have not space for work
Thank you! I know working on cars sometimes it's not easy. Subscribe for more how to videos :)
hello i was wonder, how long does that material last to you??
+kelvin baltazar Hi Kelvin, it's about 4 weeks now and it's still ok, but it's starting to leek at bit

Hi marc12marc, the name of the tape is Titanium Header Exhaust Heat Wrap.
Thank you
Max
I have to repair my flex pipe soon. but the only difference is my flex pipe still have most of its metal jacket mesh. Do I remove the mesh?
HI JN Mackall, yes please remove the mesh, but but very careful, the mesh is dangerous and wear safety gloves and eye protection.
I hope your project goes 100 percent with no issues.
Max
Where did you get it
at your local car parts store they should have it.
can get it real cheap on ebay or amazon too
we're can I get this stuff from
almost every car parts store, like autozone, pepboys, etc..
Do NOT put this around your flex/Leak without some type of metal patch in-between. This is for headers on a race engine not to patch an exhaust Leak. Be safe!!
I know, but myflex pipe was broken, and it`s only thing I had on hand for a quick fix on a sunday after noon! Meanwhile my Bosal Flex pipe was ordered but not here yet!
Thank you
Max
why does that make it dangerous?
Charlie G he did use the Kevlar wrap which is flame retardant but my advice was to people who will use the cheaper wraps that can burn/ or cause an extreme amount of hazardous smoke while you drive.
Fr it's the gasses that eat through what he used and you will still have a leak after it gets a chance to eat thru. All I was saying just put something metal/aluminum around the pipe before wrapping
This was a temporary fix, and it lasted until i replaced the complete y flex pipe :)
turn down the music
Thank you, in my next videos, the sound will be fixed, thank again for the constructive comment. Subscribe for more.

@@Kickstartyourcar thanks for the great content
Bet your hand was supper itchy after this lol
Actually no! LOL
i can sell a totally new one for you in $10.
Thank you Gao anna, great i'll book mark this message for personal use! on this movie I ordered a new flex pipe but it arrived in the mail 1 week after. But I fix my old cars and friends cars and parts like flex pipe are often broken
@@Kickstartyourcar oh, very happy for your reply. U r so cute, when i saw you said "Y PIPES......" , I Laughed a lot!
Hi goa anna, can you get one for a 2010 honda odyssey 3.5l v6 engine?
@@Kickstartyourcar i can give you for free but how I deliver to you? I'm in China
Hi goa anna, here is my email address maxymiu@hotmail.com
The music is annoying
Hi The FashionAlly22, Thank you very much for the constructive comment
Why do you have the irritating music playing in the background?....very lame....
Thank you
Thanks for the idea. I have a 2006 Mazda whose outer flex pipe wrap wore out, but luckily I caught it before the inner seal broke (would leak and fail state inspection). If this'll last another 2 years I'll be glad... even some very fair mechanics I know insist on replacing the entire flex pipe, but that'd involve some welding which means $$$.
I know, sometimes little tricks last a long time and some times no! but the good thing is that we try to do something ourselves :)
I did this on my Flex Pipe and after a few miles smoke was coming up from underneath the car with a strong burning smell. Should this happen?
it's normal, the tape is settling in, and after that it wont smoke again.
U can buy one for $30... Smh
Hi unknown potato, In this video, a new flex pipe was ordered but not in yet!
Thank you
Please Subscibe
I had mine done for $130.. This temp stuff never seems to last when I do it...lol
Thanks Howard B, I know this modification did not last long but just in time to my new flex pipe arrived, thanks ans please Subscribe to my chanel,
Thanks Max
Sounds great and all but by using such thick layers have you not prevented the pipe from flexing entirely, thus defeating it's purpose?
This was a temporary fix, and it lasted until i replaced the complete y flex pipe :)
So what did you use to wrap the flex pipe?
Hi Jay Son, i used titanim heat exhaust wrap. I used that in the mean time ( 2 weeks) to get a new flex y pipe.
Thank you for watching this entertainment video.
You are Quebecois merci pour la video.
