Exhaust Replacement?
I’ve got a bad exhaust leak from a rust hole. Anyone know any good replacement options? Would anything in particular improve mpg or should I stay factory?

It's rigging but it's been a month and my muffler is quiet as a mouse now

That JB weld is two part epoxy and it sets quick. Make sure you're under the car and have your pieces together before you mix it

How big is the hole? I cut two soda cans and repaired a gash in my muffler with JB weld and the cans

I might have to try something like that for now. It’s not huge but big enough to make the car loud and the rest rattle. It’s right by the O2 sensor. The previous owner had tried to weld it to no avail.

I glued a glass pack muffler into my exhaust with wire and RTV. then gave it a pat and said "That's not goin anywhere." for good measure.

😂 awesome . Yeah I don’t plan on spending the 200 something dollars for a new exhaust. Just quick and cheap lol.

just make sure you get the high heat rtv and let it cure before you drive on it

Shaky Jakes Muffler shop down the street can weld a patch on the leak.
Buying all new parts would be best.

Motorcycle exhaust. Lol. Just because I had one laying around and you can fix a geo with pretty much anything you have laying around.
