Any help would be appreciated if you can give tips on getting the two bolts off in the front (I snapped one already) and the three bolts in the back. Or maybe a video on how you drilled them out?
2 bolts in the front snapped all I cut them off with an angle grinder and then hit them out with a punch. The three in the back I had one snap and the other two came off. Basically assume you’ll have to use new bolts for it all.
Mine rusted in the exact same spot. You have any idea what the point of those shields are? A lot of the after market replacements don't even have the shields on there
I have a crack on the manifold, right next to the A/F ratio sensor. I have a check engine light and code p0135. Can I just seal it with something? thanks
Im planning on doing this repair on my civic, im going to buy 6 spring/bolt + the pipe, what else do i need? any gasket/seal? i have work on my car multiple time but exhaust is a first.
Nope no gasket or seals. It Just bolts together. Pretty easy just a little harder on the ground than on a lift. If I remember correctly one of the front spring bolts didn’t snap but the other one did.
Would a leak in this location cause a gas smell to enter the cabin through the HVAC vents? I'm smelling gas, and I've replaced air filter, pcv valve, etc., and still smell it. No oil or actual gas leaking on the ground, so I'm suspecting an exhaust leak. Thanks in advance
The New pipe doesnt have The 2 holes with The 2 heat shields covering them on this New pipe from what i see, has it affected the Floor Board of your car ?
@@justthetipgarage5305 I Appreciate you and the video Im currently having the same problem,but now im gonna order the part and have it put on to replace the factory pipe solve this problem
No problem glad I could help. Make sure you get the nuts and bolts to or whatever the connection hardware is. Those spring bolts at the front tend to be bad if you live in the rust belt
I have an exhaust leak that is potentially just the exhaust flange gasket. I have purchased the gasket but not the bolts. I see the comments about having to replace the bolts with new ones. Should I assume that I will have to replace the bolts as well?
I bought these on rock auto and the repair worked great walker 53697 for the pipe walker 31383 for the 3-bolt gasket / seal walker 31391 for the pipe flange ring between cat and new pipe walker 35129 for the bolt / spring between cat and new pipe for the 3-bolts in back I used M8-1-25-x-25-mm-Zinc-Plated-Steel-Flange-Bolts with matching flange nuts 8.8 grade from home depot
Thanks man! I have the same year and could not figure out where the leak was coming from until now! Ty
Awesome. Glad it helped.
Thanks for the advice man it was really helpful to get a visual understanding of what I was looking to do.
Much appreciated!

Shields are just for heat. Like I said in the video you could probably weld and patch them but the pipe is so cheap I just replaced it.
Same thing on my 6th gen ex.
I have a crack on the manifold, right next to the A/F ratio sensor. I have a check engine light and code p0135. Can I just seal it with something? thanks
Probably won’t hold but you could try jb weld.
JB Weld extreme heat rated for 2400°F.

@@justthetipgarage5305 wow thanks for the fast reply. perfect i will order the pipe and the bolts. THANK YOU !!
How did your repair go....to the best of my knowledge more is needed .. i need to do it ordered parts and what came with the exhaust pipe was a donut

Absolutely could and it’s easy enough to spot. Just put it on ramps or jack it up and take a look. It’s easy to spot
My civic had only a very tiny oil drip with strong exhaust smell in the cabin. Turned out to be a bad valve cover gasket
the original pipe comes with 3 heat sinks, but, no heat sinks with the new pipe. is it safe? the driveshaft boot above might be melt?
sorry, not heat sinks but 2 heat shields protect cv joint boot. new pipe does not come with those heat shields. is it safe?
Yea it didn’t come with them but also haven’t had an issue with them getting too hot or melting anything
Yo got a question
The New pipe doesnt have The 2 holes with The 2 heat shields covering them on this New pipe from what i see, has it affected the Floor Board of your car ?
Nope not at all. And you’re right new pipe doesn’t have heat shields. But we haven’t noticed a difference
Did this Vehicle have Fumes coming from that Exhaust pipe making its way inside the vehicle thru the AC vents ?
Yea you could hear it and smell it. Plus it failed inspection for it so we replaced it.

Yea you should have some new bolts on hand. Those old ones will probably snap off.
so do you have the follow up???
It fixed the problem so no I do not.
Whats the part called??
The exhaust. I looked it up on rock auto. It’s the only one that looks like that.
Front pipe, down pipe? The pipe right after the header manifold pipes.

Part number !
If youre unable to find it on www.rockauto.com please don’t attempt the fix.
I bought these on rock auto and the repair worked great
walker 53697 for the pipe
walker 31383 for the 3-bolt gasket / seal
walker 31391 for the pipe flange ring between cat and new pipe
walker 35129 for the bolt / spring between cat and new pipe
for the 3-bolts in back I used M8-1-25-x-25-mm-Zinc-Plated-Steel-Flange-Bolts with matching flange nuts 8.8 grade from home depot
Perfect! Glad you knocked it out.
