I'm guessing it's a common problem mine and my friends do that and both were bought new!
Mine started to sound like **** a month ago it's leaking from there like crazy

My bets on the wheels are from Streets of Willow , the chicane off the back straight and the 2nd to last turn getting on the front straight. I like to bend my wheels there.
OP when are you hitting the track next? I'm thinking i'll hit the extreme speed event next month at Big Willow for the Corner 3 challenge.

the only way it can e welded is by friction welding (pretty much taking to pieces of materiel, one being stationary, and spinning them against each other until the friction creates enough heat to automatically bond them). However, I don't know where one would go about doing that -___-

not 100% sure but if the outside metal is fairly soft it should clamp it well enough, a hell of a lot better than it is. Plus there are TONS of cars that come factory with clamped exhaust, so I'm sure it would be fine, just depends on the materials of the exhaust, not sure how well they clamp.

Look at what I found tonight....

Found this after a tech at an alignment shop had pointed it out... I have no idea how long I have been rolling like this. Safe to say I was pissed! Someone somewhere didn't care to bolt down a vital part of the car.
Bright side, no real damage was done. I just took a mallet and went to town putting her back into place. Bolted it down with some Home Depot bolts for a temporary fix until the parts arrive to my nissan dealership.
As a precaution I tightened down a couple of the struts mounts at the top in the engine bay. Found one to be loose and the other I stripped....( whyyyy!!?!). So now I'm gonna order that too :'(

^^^thats crazy! this is why i dont let anyone else touch my car.
on the ap exhaust, mine is not nearly that bad, looks like its crimped different then mine. i would suggest a t-bolt clamp, and put some high temp silicon around the seam. a cheap easy fix.
