But in a very specific location. We patched a hole in the exhaust with some muffler cement and a Pilsner can but it didn't take, and literally our entire exhaust up to the cat dropped out of the car when I drove over a speed bump.
Well I ripped out our cat and sold it to the yard for 25 bones which was cool, but what about our exhaust? Morris sounds like a chopper and vents into the cabin! Crap. Well I bolted up the muffler in the center of the car to the only mount we have and ran about 18 inches of pipe between it and what was left of the exhaust that fed into where the cat was.
With our "don't give a fuck" mantra and a budget spent entirely on fixing the wheel bearing this would have to do. The two of us cemented it in place and cement some brackets to the pipe and bolted that to the point where the cat bolted on. Sounds just like it did when we bought it, and to take care of the exhaust fumes in the cabin we plan on just grabbing a $5 pre-heater hose for a carb from Canadian mafacka's and clamping it on the end of the muffler and venting it out the side by the rear wheel.
Oh yea, we also already had to replace the pre-heater hose on the carb but that was just a few bucks and dead simple.
