Default How do I fix exhaust pipe?




I bought the car like this but it looks kinda weird, everything works but one pipe is shorter than other.. I dont wanna buy a whole exhaust system and cheap or other ways to fix it?

if u want a clean sounding, quiet exhaust that can give u a beatiful roar when u need it go nismo. if not go on craigslist or ebay and im pretty sure ull find someone selling parts of their exhaust or the whole set. btw, how much did u pay for that thing? not to be rude or anything.

Actually to be more safe like what David mention we need to see under the car. Have to see how it is damage. There is no point of putting on an exhaust if the result will be the same. Can you take picture from directly behind?

Wrecked in rear; cheap-*** "fix" to exhaust done; you might as well start over with a new one.

Is you rear windshield wiper broken? Normally, they sit 90 degrees from that position. It doesn't look like the right size either. Just wondering............

For an affordable exhaust, Megan claims to be fairly quiet.

might as well just get a new exhaust. Just buy another stock exhaust, stock nismo exhaust, nismo, hks, greddy medallion, fujitsu exhaust. Any of those are pretty quiet.

Its OK. Check your regional forum and see if someone is selling a OEM take-off exhaust. Figure $50.

Good eye. The wiper should be vertical not horizontal. You can pull it off, rotate 90 degrees, then put it back on the spline.
