Fuhgeddaboudit Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I have a muffler that is a little loose under my car, and I don't really have THE mechanic to go to. The guy who used to do it for me actually had his whole house damaged due to Sandy so he can't do it just yet. I was wondering if any one here knew who I could go to to weld a muffler for me? It makes annoying noises when driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 How old is the car and are you sure it's loose? Could very easily be your catalytic converter is going as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuhgeddaboudit Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 How old is the car and are you sure it's loose? Could very easily be your catalytic converter is going as well. It's loose. The mechanic I was going to said it's loose and it needed to be welded which he doesn't do. what exactly is the situation? did a hanger break or is the muffler loose on the pipe itself? I'm pretty sure he told my dad that the muffler is loose on the pipe itself, but I can try and look into it by myself tomorrow, but I doubt I will get any results because I have no clue on car anatomy at all.

Niagaraiceman Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If you have room on the pipe, a band clamp will tighten it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentosman42 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If you have room on the pipe, a band clamp will tighten it up. this, they make 3" wide stainless steel band clamps that really fix most problems. All you need is a ratchet, although a cordless impact gun will save you a lot of time. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Band-Clamp-3-Inch-Exhaust-3-Inch-wide-/400168075203 Just figure out what diameter pipe you have and get the appropriate clamp.

Fuhgeddaboudit Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 I forgot I could have put this in the car thread that we had going on. I guess one of the mods can do that if anything. Sorry about that. Okay, I will talk to my dad and we can figure this out tomorrow when it's light out. Thanks for the info guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
