My exhaust fell off..... (Sort Of...)

[Shin_Kudo]

I hit a bump the other day, and was rewarded by an odd sound. I carefully got the car home, only to find that at least three of the rubber exhaust mounts are broken, essentially leaving the exhaust supported only by it's attachment to the cat.

What should I be doing to rectify the situation? Looking at the mounts, they almost seem like something I could do myself. But my car needs a trip to the mechanic anyway (to have trans. swap done, take care of brake problems, etc), so I think I just need to figure out how to keep the exhaust secured for the 20 min freeway trip to my shop. Any suggestions?

One other thing.... What are the chances my exhaust is damaged? I mean, I wouldn't be too sad to hear that I had an excuse to get an EXMAG....

hey man, atleast that shit didnt happen to you while flying through laurel canyon like it did to me.

i was driving and as soon as i launch my car on one of the bumps you hear "scraaaaaaaaape" .. AND i was on the way to a fuckin wedding!

the answer? its all too simple and I say it too often:

I was on Mulholland. :D So not that different.


Anyway, zip ties were kinda what I thought. I had some, but they were too weak. So I bought some nice strong ones today, they should do th etrick.

duct tape and goop

i was driving home once im my old Imark Turbo and the exhaust fell off from the end of the cat and went skittering down the road. I was like "fine ill just throw it back in the truck and have it welded back on, just a few scrapes" and then it got nailed by an 18 wheeler
