So this morning my exhaust literally fell off. It didn't completely fall off I guess, but the front exhaust bracket broke and the muffler came loose from the headers. The bracket attached to the exhaust is what actually broke. I did some looking and of course the "L" bracket (which seems fine btw) has been replaced with the "Y" bracket and the bushings aren't sold anymore. I really don't wanna buy a whole new exhaust and "y" bracket (a total of almost $500) just to fix one bracket. Does anyone have any suggestions or have an old exhaust they'd wanna sell me? I really wanna get it back on the road quick. I'll try to post some pics soon. |

Can you weld the bracket back on to the exhaust? Then go buy the Y mount, or try and find one being parted out on eBay. That'll bring it down to $100 or so (as I recall). That original bracket never did hold up for long anyway, the Y bracket is cheap insurance against broken header studs (a path you want to avoid if at all possible). Check those studs now also... I would not be surprised if some are missing nuts, or sheared off. |
