Exhaust blow... Fix
« on: 22 June 2014, 22:45 »
Gonna sound cheap and nasty but has anyone used jb weld to fix a blowey exhaust?

Got a couple of small blows where the joins are (litularry on the slits) and was gonna put a dab of it on there!!!

Would it work?

You'd be better off with Gun Gum or something similar.

Dending on the size and where on the system, you could clamp the hole with an exhuast clamp.

It may start to look a bit bling bling deping on how many holes you have  :grin:

failing the other suggestions I have used something called liquid metal before - worked a treat  :wink:
