Great video!! Do you want real closterfobic I spent 7 years in the NAVY on submarines . I was on SSBN 619 634 and the USS bonefish . The 2 SSBN got out around more than 70 days . When you start sub school there are 35 guys then by the time you actually go out to sea only 20 or so make it. I would have stayed in for 20 years as I was already a e-5 . But it was not in the cards a torpedo reload test made the stupid torpedo swing and crush me . Now I have no use from the waist down. I have a morphine pump but I get to sit and watch you great videos !!!!
OOOH Man, I cannot imagine being down in a Sub for any amount of time ... I am 6' 4" I would have had the longest running head ache in the history of the Navy.... I was also in the Navy VFA-125 Stationed in NAS Lemoore California... Loved what I was doing ((AMS on F/A-18 - The Hornet)) and love my Duty Station... But, after 4 years I had had enough.. LOL Thank you for your Service, sorry to hear of your injury... Have a Great Memorial Day weekend.. and Keep watch MY Videos... LOL
John Murphy I realize this is months later, and thank you for your service, & so sorry for your disability ! Can I ask what you meant by "they could've made 'non-addicting pain meds', but then it'd mean no repeat customers because 'no more pain' " ? I've never heard they could do that. Thanks.
Everyone wants to criticize him for the repair. But sometimes you have to do what you can to get by untill you have the money to repair it properly. I used the same metal duct/flashing tape on my exhaust as a "temporary repair". It worked pretty well. There was a bad smell from the glue heating up on the exhaust from the tape but it passed over time. But sometimes you have to do what you have to to get by.
But the Value that this video has made to my channel ended up being PRICELESS !!!! This was just an idea for a TH-cam Video.. I replaced this exhaust with a Cat Back Banks system... Thanks for Watching...
We all have tried some kind of patching at one time. I did a little stick weld tacking and the guy doing the inspection could tell and said I'll let it go this year, I can't remember what I did the following year. Great video!
Great job you have todo what you have to-do! I just repaired my exaust manifold with half a can of tomatoe sauce (the can stuff) some chimney paste, a Strip of muffler wrap and 2 hose clamps. 99 Ford F 150 with 329k miles ( no engine light on) is as quite as a church mouse. I plan on buying both exhaust manifolds but meanwhile this contraption will suffice. Thx for sharing
Thanks for watching ! Yeah this fix didn't last very long at all... But I just needed something to hold me over till my new system came in … It worked well enough to hold the pipe inline so the soot didn't continue to build up under my truck...
I have the same setup, on my 2005 f150. All the exhaust pipes, mufflers etc, all rust out after two years. So I fix them as they rust, do not matter what what it's look like.
I have since replaced this with a cat back system from Banks.. But yeah it stinks that they cant make anything that lasts anymore.... Make it cheaper so the CEO can get his big azz Bonus !!!!! Thanks for watching & for the comment
I remember doing all kind of repair when I first got married in 70, only got paid 3.15 an hour so you did whatever it took, no garage and in the winter, living on a country house. use lots of cans, coat hangers, what ever I could find!
I use aluminum foil folded several times until is one inch and tick, then I wrap it with that and put 2 zip ties just to keep it in place, I remove the after!,then I put JB weld wait to dry, remove the zip ties and put a tick clam on it and it works for me!
Baked bean or soup cans + jubilee clips (with a bit of rtv for a better seal) won't melt smelly plasctic on your truck and would be using cheaper items from your garage
use fiberglass weld after you adjusted the broken pipe - $20 and not the black electrical tape the coat hanger idea was great, you cud wrap the hangers on top of the fiberglass
I cut off the exhaust on my Crown Vic and added a bullet muffler behind each cat and that was it. I tied it up with wire hangers and it lasted for YEARS. lol
I like the use of the wire and the thought of the electrical tape buried in there roasting away. But you need clamps to make it all hold together. I'd use lots of foil tape first, then the wire, then more foil tape (lots of it!) , then a bunch of hose clamps.
Haha I could have told you electrical tape will melt. They make a muffler repair tape that will sometimes work. The heat duct tape won't melt but is too thin. If you can get a coupling and some clamps on there is better still. I have used metal flashing and hose clamps.
I have submitted my idea to their CEO and he has agreed to share his 6 figure bonus with me... He informed me that it was his idea to save the company millions of dollars by buying the exhaust systems from a third world county who has agreed to make them from substandard metal that was recycled from illegal opiate operation factory covered with second hand chicken house roofing sheets.... I'm going to receive $1.98 for every recall taken care of within a 10 mile radius of the Chinese factory just north of Fukashema nuclear plant.. Next time I'm buying a OIIIIO ...............LOL
I never like to leave bad comments . I get it tho it's a cheap fix . Easy cheaper fix dollar store foil wrap a whole box and hose clamps. Plus stabilizer. But best to weld. But again I get it . People stuck don't have a welder. Cheers nice garage
This was actually just a joke... this was not my real fix... the real fix was a cat back Banks exhaust system... lol This video has been my most viewed videos tho… That's for not leaving a bad comment.. I hope you got a little laugh or at least a look at this dumb azz.... LOL Thanks for watching & Thanks for the comment I hope you check out some of my other videos as well.....
I laughed when you said it should hold for a year lol I just used foil tape on my lower radiator pipe because I got a hole in my manifold aiming hot air right At it. I might try this for my flange leak tho so thanks for the content
As I seen the electric tape , coat hanger, and foil tape come out I was thinking it was going to be a parody video.... Nope, it was for real.... If you welded the last one and it held, why not weld this one??? Please do a follow up video of how long this lasted
Tough place to patch. I've considered buying a mig welder just for purposes like this, then buying muffler parts as needed and do my own fixes. Where i live muffler shops are all but gone, the ones that still in business like to rip ya. For now I'll be doing a simple patch job, don't wanna invest anymore than necessary for my old car for exuahst work... things got 320,000 miles.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 just 10 years ago there was many muffler shops around here, but somehow they ended up closing down. Some say due to better quality exhaust from factory and people don't keep their vehicles long enough, then trade for a newer one.
I never had luck with that fiberglass tiger patch tape it melts and comes off anyway. what you need is the chimney flu high heat aluminum tape it will take 800 degrees .ACE Hardware has it
diesel 101. glow plugs are used to heat the air in the combustion chamber during cold start because heat during first start is lost to the temp of the engine block. after the engine heats up the air fuel mixture is ignited by the pressure of the engine. without the glow plugs the engine will take forever to start in very cold areas.
I tried using hvac tape before and before I did it, I held a torch on it, all the sticky shit came off but it didn't burn as well it's aluminum tape but I put it on my exhaust anyways and that bitch was coming off almost instantly. I knew the exhaust got hot but damn, the hvac tape what was interesting as hell, is after holding the torch on it for over a minute I accidentally touched it and was like fuck, then realized nothing happened so I touched it a few times super quick then held it and it wasn't even hot or warm
Just coming back to say that the fix was still holding up 6 weeks and 500+ miles (mostly highway) later when I was finally able to get a new vehicle. Although it was starting to get really loud and having trouble on hills... But your method came through big time for me. Thanks again.
Oh man that's awesome I wonder if that would have stopped my wheel wells for rotting out too ! That's crazy such an easy resolution... Thanks for the comment and Thanks for watching....
I have found that old spray paint cans with the ends cut out and chain link fence rings or hose clamps about four layers thick Works wonderful or or a or a or a slightly or a slightly bigger or a slightly bigger or a slightly bigger piece of or a slightly bigger piece of pipe and some real good self tappers about three rounds around it lasted me five years the last time I did it thank you for visiting Somerset Automotive quality work at a fair price
Wow sounds great. Hey what ever works in my opinion. Mine just fell Off on the way to work 😢. Luckily I had rope in my trunk and a guy helped me tie it up temporarily.
Cut the front half off and just put a straight piece in there. The little resonator is not needed. Then weld or clamp it down and your done. The pipe should be like 10 or 15 bucks at the store and it won't look like your baking a Christmas ham under your truck.
Baking a Christmas Ham... I laughed for 5 minutes on that one... you are right it did look like a bad Ham... Thanks for the comment and Thanks for watching....
I wonder if that flex seal stuff would be a temporary fix for a exhaust leak i was thinking that stuff might not be great with heat I don't know just a thought
Some truck just threw a hubcap under my car and it broke my exhaust and busted a hole in my transmission pan. I HAVE to keep using this vehicle for now though. My question is How long should this last?
The exhaust will last forever or until it falls off and gets run over by the car or truck behind you... as far as the Transmission -- that is a loaded question.... how big is the hole? is the hole above the fluid level or below the fluid level?How many Miles do you drive per trip? how many miles do you drive Biannually? can you tape the hole shut? (that will keep unwanted dirt and animals from getting inside the transmission)…. I must have all of these answers and more to accurately calculate just how long it should last !!! Thanks for watching and for this comment !!!
The Puncture in the transmission pan is about the size of my thumb. I posted A short videos showing the damage on my page. Would I be able to use JB Weld or some type of muffler cement to patch it up? And then the muffler is dented and broken by the exhaust. If I were to patch this up would I have to worry about backfiring or overheating since the muffler is dented? Please take a look and give me some advice I really need this car, I just got out, I’m on Parole, and I was supposed to start work this week.
Hmmm ! that is some major damage... you might need to consult with a professional repair guy on that one.... and you say a Hub Cap did all that ??? WOW that is crazy … great video that you posted by the way...
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too 🤦🏻♂️. I went ahead and put some JB Weld on the transmission case yesterday so I’m hoping that’ll hold and if it does I’ll take it to a muffler shop later today. I’ll post a video later to let you know how it came out🤞 . I never really posted videos before though, you know? And well it was this litte piece of metal that was about the size of a hubcap I’m not sure exactly what it was. But thanks for the ideas and video.
They make tape especially designed for exhaust repair -- apparently you're using something different, because you already had parts on the way. The special tape is supposed to last for months or years.
It blew out before the end of the video... did you ever work for NASA? I know they had a few explosions so I was just wondering if you were on the repair team lol
Hmmmm ! I never thought of hot glue.. Thats a good idea actually ... everytime it would heat up it would reseal it after it cooled down !!!! I like that Idea...LOL Thanks for watching
Thatnks for the idea am do it to my 1998. Chevy Tahoe buy any chance u got any ideas on how to fix the same problem but from the top were the exhast bolts to the mainfold
i love my dodge but it's rusty then all hell no thx to michigan winters anyway my muffler fell off and ive been scouring internet for ideah's to get a permanent hillbilly fix(500 dollar truck) with some muffler mend and cast and with your wire trick it keeps my heat shield (soup can) from directly touching my muffler cast witch would normally melt off in a month or less been 2 months now and it seems likes its going to work ty very much!!!!
Did it work ?? is it still working ?? if not bring that Bitch to Delaware.... my shop rate are reasonable and my fixes will last for mile zzzzzzzz.....
yea all is well with the truck muffler has held up fine 4 layers now lol. joiner piece with muffler bond and some thick steel coat hangers attached by worm clamps then my soup can heat shield, then i wrapped the whole thing in a muffler cast not very pretty but im hoping it will hold for the winter fingers crossed and not to seem rude or a smart ass but if i could drive to delaware for automotive repair i wouldn't be driving a 500 dollar truck :P but thank you for the offer all the same
Isn't there a type of silcone tape you can use now ? I just was reading up on this stuff & I'm in awe ! It fuses to itself and has a doesn't melt ? I believe it can take up to 500°F. (Not sure how hot your truck gets, but I hope it isn't over 500° F. lol) Nice video.
Redneck Mfg. Right. And from the articles and videos on this tape, there are now many more and even clear rolls, and they're decently sized also, now. And this stuff has ZERO adhesive materials to it ! Amazing ! I was in a bittersweet moment while in awe at the same time. Bittersweet because I felt like I was seeing the end of my need for the old faithful Duct tape ! sniff lol Thanks again.
The other word is you "Neighbored Rigged It" haha reference to a south park episode!!!! FUNNY! I can Not imagining that "Neighbored Rigged" job would last long at all with electric tape????
LOL I only wish I could patent this Quick Fix...But, believe it or not the Electrical tape did melt off on the first drive But the foil tape lasted I think 3 months until I could pick up a new Exhaust system from Banks... And the foil tape kept the noise level down until the new system was installed..... LOL Thanks for watching and for the comment

10mins and ill be surprised!

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Good enough for now
I think you are right, the temp fix is too temporary. Waste of time. Maybe this video was intended as a joke.
Super glad I've got the benefit of having an everlast welder in my shop. I hate welding overhead but for something like this it's not so mad.
Baked bean or soup cans + jubilee clips (with a bit of rtv for a better seal) won't melt smelly plasctic on your truck and would be using cheaper items from your garage
People already came back to Earth from the Moon using fixes that these. Thanks for the video.
use fiberglass weld after you adjusted the broken pipe - $20 and not the black electrical tape
the coat hanger idea was great, you cud wrap the hangers on top of the fiberglass
Bro that was genius !! Thank you very much
Glad it helped ....lol
Great but I would have tried to tack weld it first. But I also know it's almost impossible to weld underneath the truck. Been there done that.
thats a thing of dagon beauty well done sir well done.

spark plugs ignite the air fuel mixture constantly in gas engines to keep it running. no spark no bang so to speak.
The only thing different I would have done was to bung alot of exhaust putty first then do it the same way you have.nice video.john UK.

try hose clamp and beer can to patch the pipe

After replacing Dodgey mufflers went to Associated Muffler then painted whole system with high heat stove pipe paint. Stops the rot!!

Exhausts rot from the inside out. painting it is a waste of time...
Good temporary fix man. 👍
I burned thru heat tape in minutes. muffler tape with hose clamps worked better
Eric Nissani or just put solder on it
The coat hangers are just another path for a leak get rid of them too. Wrap some metal and clamps around it or use the muffler repair tape.
Almost looks factory 👌
"Look at that, uh, hahaha looks good."

My muffler is about to come off. I'm not replacing it with a muffler. I'll use 1 metre of pipe instead
Good job me likey 😊
Thatnks for the idea am do it to my 1998. Chevy Tahoe buy any chance u got any ideas on how to fix the same problem but from the top were the exhast bolts to the mainfold
Oh man if you live close to Delaware i have some great ideas to fix that...
That is a fire hazerd
Hale yeah it is I already collected the Insureance Money... Just kidding it worked Great for about 3 months...
I think the wires are a good idea but maybe heat wrap tape would of been a better fix
i love my dodge but it's rusty then all hell no thx to michigan winters anyway my muffler fell off and ive been scouring internet for ideah's to get a permanent hillbilly fix(500 dollar truck) with some muffler mend and cast and with your wire trick it keeps my heat shield (soup can) from directly touching my muffler cast witch would normally melt off in a month or less been 2 months now and it seems likes its going to work ty very much!!!!
Did it work ?? is it still working ?? if not bring that Bitch to Delaware.... my shop rate are reasonable and my fixes will last for mile zzzzzzzz.....
yea all is well with the truck muffler has held up fine 4 layers now lol. joiner piece with muffler bond and some thick steel coat hangers attached by worm clamps then my soup can heat shield, then i wrapped the whole thing in a muffler cast not very pretty but im hoping it will hold for the winter fingers crossed and not to seem rude or a smart ass but if i could drive to delaware for automotive repair i wouldn't be driving a 500 dollar truck :P but thank you for the offer all the same
Nice Farmall Cub 👍🏼
Thanks 👍
yeah Weldon sir….if you haven't got the money now that's what you have to do..not a good job …but good job for now
Might have tried bending a soup can and cup the underneath like a cradle before the aluminum tape.
I like that idea... That's one of those " why didn't I think of that " Ideas.. Thanks for watching
Isn't there a type of silcone tape you can use now ? I just was reading up on this stuff & I'm in awe ! It fuses to itself and has a doesn't melt ? I believe it can take up to 500°F. (Not sure how hot your truck gets, but I hope it isn't over 500° F. lol)
Nice video.
Redneck Mfg. Right. And from the articles and videos on this tape, there are now many more and even clear rolls, and they're decently sized also, now. And this stuff has ZERO adhesive materials to it ! Amazing ! I was in a bittersweet moment while in awe at the same time. Bittersweet because I felt like I was seeing the end of my need for the old faithful Duct tape ! sniff lol Thanks again.
Half hour later tape is melted everything comes off
Love it! I'll try that today!
Don't forget to tape the pipe prior to taping the crack.. That's the most important part of the process... LOL Thanks for watching..
Blutac is also useful at patching up exhausts - as good as plastic tape or paper at least
Mine lasted about two weeks, isn't. There a flex pipe patch that would work better
Love the music!
Thank you. This helped me out
a 4 page assay is now do on how this video helped you ...
I would put a hose clamp around the wire hanger then put the tape or put the hose clap on the tape
I've got the same spank banks exhaust it really rumbles
LOL I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F..king brilliant dude🤙
Good video.Tanks!
This is recommended as a temporary fix only ?!?! LOL
looks new to me !!
The other word is you "Neighbored Rigged It" haha reference to a south park episode!!!! FUNNY! I can Not imagining that "Neighbored Rigged" job would last long at all with electric tape????
You Got it !!!! I was trying to be politicallly correct...
LOL I only wish I could patent this Quick Fix...But, believe it or not the Electrical tape did melt off on the first drive But the foil tape lasted I think 3 months until I could pick up a new Exhaust system from Banks... And the foil tape kept the noise level down until the new system was installed..... LOL Thanks for watching and for the comment
May need to make sure it wont burn under high temperature..
I wish you would have told me that a few years ago !!! Here is what happened - th-cam.com/video/cdClmGOaVDc/w-d-xo.html - Just Kidding ! Thanks for watching And for the comment....
The 1st wrap with the pieces of hanger
You traumatized me while making me listen to jazz 😢
Pretty good
