Awesome video with great instructions, thank you for sharing this video.

[@mdhill5420]

Great video. What kind of clamps are you using?

[@momustapha]

Thanjs for this video I think I got the same problem. Is the pipe hanging a bit though? Shouldn't it be held up a little higher after the repair?

[@Maromitch]

That’s the height my exhaust was before the flange broke but it’s possible the hangers are getting old

[@sleekspeed22]

I had a similar issue... but on the other end we've it connects to the catalytic converter.
Where did you go find a junk piece to use as a replacement?

[@Maromitch]

Your local junkyard should have them intact and you just need to cut it off

[@sleekspeed22]

@@Maromitch I'm going to sound really dumb... but how do I find a local junk yard to see if they even have my car?

[@pksports6350]

Would it be possible to just cut the flange off the muffler and use a flex pipe?

[@r.t.7925]

Mine's toasted too :), but hey why didn't you at least put a new gasket between those two flanges? I am thinking of welding that piece you have to my old flange and using one clamp only.

[@Maromitch]

I had to fight with it putting the gasket in. So I did end up putting a gasket in off camera but great eye catching that

[@ballershanelle]

Could you just leave it 2 ,to 3 inches longer, then expand the down pipe ...then, add paste sealant and drive the junkyard piece inside the other pipe. Now, add a band or u bracket?

[@highfye9689]

same exact problem on my 2006 matrix.

[@Maromitch]

Very common on them I’ve found. Almost a guarantee

[@deepharman3878]

From where u buy that connector

[@Maromitch]

Any auto parts store that sells exhaust pieces should have then
