Try many years ago an worthless, blew out again shortly , I have 87 S10, rusted apart an drive every few weeks to justove it an only have emergency transportation, not reliable , not worth spend nothing on, I changed oil last fall an front end grease, but rusted an big crack on half pipe right where clamp goes on front mufller, probly not far 1/4 crack an top half pipe , would do any good wrap muffler tape around it ? It blow out again?

Ever thought of buying a beater car for $800. Wear it out and sell it to demo derby guys for $3-400 when it gives you problems. Way better gas mileage.

If I understand where I think its cracked, look up exhaust band clamp.




These things WORK for cracked pipes.

You'd be better off to cut a piece of exhaust pipe that would fit over the cracked spot, goop it up good with some sort of exhaust sealant and clamp it on with muffler clamps. Still a band aid fix but a lot better one.

can you get over it with a good soup can cut and wrapped , seal it up with Napa exhaust seal and a couple muffler clamps or air craft clamps could have a fix for 10-15 dollars

any more expensive than that and cutting it out and putting a 30 dollar muffler on starts to make more sense

Or try that band clamp

If can get old clamp rusted apart off

Got a hacksaw?

Ya have take look it an see how close it is or go on muffler or how close crack is to muffler, the muffler wasn't in to bad shape but got flooded an I cranked it over last summer an sound like shotgun blast, wrinkle an crack rear muffler, not loud but leak,that different leak

Change the muffler bearings while your at it too.

Bout time to get that winter air out of your tires, too

I check it out, crack right where inlet is at muffler right next muffler, can't put a bracket around pipe, new muffler it an some new pipe, not worth it at shop , 2 yrs ago he say not really worth work on an unsafe on hoist rusted frame, crack bottom half pipe maybe close 1/4 gap, well muffler bandage do a thing or support it at all ? My other pickup for months has had small hole in back on top where condensation an water rust, not loud an not do nothing it until worse, factory muffler an decent except on small area, shop want $175 at least for aftermarket an install that , I let that go until louder

Put some J.B. weld over the crack.

On that big crack? Don't have do nothing to surface , on top some rust ?

Why would you even drive a truck with a broken frame?

Not broke, rusted bad thru out is why junk

Once your exhaust system starts to rust out time to change it, they just keep going and cause more problems. Some worse than others I did have a car once that after several times of changing a pipe in the same section, i figured out it was a low spot in the pipe that built up condensation and I drilled a small weep hole and corrected the problem.

Nope, bandage won't work and you've tried it before to know they don't work.
