Same problem with my 03 mountaineer. Your video saved me lol. I’ll be buying those tools ASAP!! Thanks..
Have the exact same problem with my '96 Explorer. Doing the split flange thing tomorrow. Genius!!
Awesome! Hit me back after Success!
Don’t forget the donut gasket
Wish me luck. I’m gonna do this on my 96 Ford Ranger. 62 year old woman. Thanx!
You got this! The toughest part is getting the old crap off. Take your time, protect your eyes. Good Luck!!
You can do it.
@@GreggAdventure did you notice the crack?
On mine? No. I don’t see a crack at all. Looks fine... How did yours go?
One of the best videos on the interned. It is short, to the point, and has images of the work area. Thanks!
Thank you. Happy to help. It's still holding up! :)
Good stuff bud . Skills at its best .. Keep up the grind. We do what we can do. Stay positive bud. 👍🌐
best solution I've seen to this problem yet!
Cheap, easy-ish. Works.
About to do this in the am to my 03 Honda Accord . Thanks 🙏🏾
Awesome. Mine is still holding up! Get’r done!
You're supposed to replace with spring bolts so the joint can flex.
I’ll live. This kit does not use springs
I had this problem too. And the mechanic I used also used spring bolts. He said you have to on fwd cars. It needs to flex when you are changing gears
The spring bolts are for the vibration so the pipe doesn’t bend
@@joeferrara4580 The spring bolts are so the joint can flex.
That's true is better to use the springs!! but I did this with out and is being holding it for over 8 years..
I love it! Great job man! I'll sub for more like this.. Cheers from Canada
Nice to have you! 👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Sweet! Thanks for the video man.
Welcome!
Great job bud!
Thank you friend! 👍🏻
I have one of those & I seem to remember that, It does not open up so, if you were able to push that onto your exhaust pipe, what is keeping it from collapsing up against the other flange if you have not expanded the pipe after installing that piece to use as a flange? The torque of those screws or bolts being tightened would pull it towards the factory flange so, what is allowing it to keep tension on the pipe & serve as its flange? If the fipe has not been expanded after installing that flange?
Both ends of the pipe are exactly the same, as they were originally. one side is already expanded and fits over the other. the only difference is, the welded plate with the hole is broken. This does indeed Open, and folds over the pipe, before the expansion, and bolts on
Thanks for posting this!!!!
Welcome. Happy to help!!
Great work
Wish I could find these big enough for my truck (3") 😢😢
I truly don't know why this isn't a more widely available thing
is this the 4.6 or the 4.0L? I can't seem to find a split flange big enough. The holes are too far apart on the original flange. Also, I don't see the replacement donut that's supposed to be there or the spring bolts.
I'm not sure which this was. Trying to remember. Sorry. I did not use spring. I used Regular bolts. It held up with no problems for the life of the truck.
My 1st thought was, where is the Gasket. So Is the gasket optional because my manifold downpipe is flat at welded connection end point. Don't know if gasket can be used to seal from harmful gases escaping?....ect 2000 FORD EXPLORER!! (NYS INSPECTION)
No gasket. The original setup has spring bolts, that allow for movement. I have not seen any repair kits that utilize a gasket.
you must have a gaskets in exhaust flanges yes or they will not be leak free. They don't come in kits but they are needed. If you see your OEM exhaust replacement schematics then you'll see flanges listed.
I will never get the rusty bolts out on the Dakota. I'm about to use a second split flange on the header to have a place for the first split flange to bolt to. I know it wont be the best thing to look at but it should work and I got to pass inspection in 2 days.
Rusty Bolts are a nightmare. Do what you gotta do!
It looks like a monkey installed it but it's on. Now if I could keep the check engine light from coming back on I'd be in business. Spent $50 on 93 Octane, reset the light 4 times and put over 200 miles on her today. My last trip i got a solid 73 miles on with no check engine light. Now I just got to hope it stays off when I drive it the mile to the garage in the morning for an inspection.
lol. My entire truck looks like a money did it. Your truck’s computer will run checks regularly, after a certain amount of fails, the light will come back on. Get a cheap computer reader from Walmart and find out what the code is, so you can fix it and be done with that light. Likely something simple
@@ertyderty7 take the cluster out and take out the bulb and no more check engine light ever
@@aux1z11 That would not pass an inspection...
need spring bolts to allow flexing rather than breaking
This kit is sold exactly as installed. No spring bolts. Cheaper, but it works. Still holding up
this man forgot what the springs to do!
Just had a donut gasket on my 99 Tahoe replaced and days later my truck sounds like crap again..turns out the connection where the flanges meet those 3 bolts shook themselves loose again..so I'm really questioning the quality of work performed by the guy who did the job..idk?? But I brought the universal replacement flange like you had in this video along with gasket and replacement bolts..
UGH, what a pain. Consider putting a second nut on each bolt, to keep that from happening to your new one. I had that issue also.
I have a S60 Volvo and I have same setup but the flanges are good but the bolts look like they are welded on the head of the bolt side to flange the thread side goes out but not enough to enter the holes on opposite flange but not beyond I need to put new bolts in but not sure how to remove these nipples on the flange or re drill new holes with them their. Any help greatly appreciate it.
If I’m understanding this correctly, I would drill the old bolts out. Depending on the material and size, it could be a real pain in the ass, and break a few bits.... But, that would be my 1st attempt. Just be Patient as it may take some time
ok to the one flange studs out is beyond my skill and equipment so I am going to use split flange now the one 2 1/2 " looks good but the other 2 1/2 is too small the pipe raises up so I need a 3" which I don't think they make because all I saw was 2 1/4 and 2 1/2 any help?? greatly appreciate it temp is dropping going to be real cold outside where I am doing this crazy sh***
Did it give you a bad smell inside the cabin because of that ?
Prior? Sure. Perfect since the repair.
Where did u get that cut off tool
Hi. It’s a Dremel attachment. Grab it on Amazon. I’ve got a link in the Description.
cooool
So you dont need flange Gasket?
Just this piece and your set. The pipe itself is flared.
@@GreggAdventure You're gonna need the gasket. Just because one pipe is flared and the other can fit inside, eventually it's gonna expand and you'll start hearing the exhaust noise again. I tried it and had to put a gasket in between the pipes 4 months later.
did you use a gasket?
No. Just this
a dermal really works? looks like ware down is seconds
this is why i love youtube lmfao the dealership offered to fix it for like 350.....this less than 20 buck lmfao
$5.99 at the right place. Keep your money. #Winning
Where did you buy it?
Click the link in Description.
but still leaks?
Nope. Still strong and quiet to this day
I would of just took it in to the dealer and paid 999.99 to have it fixed , NOT
Sounds Greeeeeeeaaaaaat 🤣😂🤣
Why not show the work ?????
Because sometimes I don’t know if it’s gonna work, till it works…. And sometimes, getting it done right, is my main priority, such as, when it’s my Mothers Vehicle. ✌🏻
Brurhbrrurruh hhhhhhhhhhhhh so funny👍
lol. #MissionAcomplished
