My roadside exhaust repair

[BpuVR4]

Was on my way to a very important wedding, and 5min away from the church, and of course 3min from start time, I hear my exhaust get much louder while sitting at a red light. I decide to pull into a parking lot, and hear my exhaust scraping on the ground. Getting under I see the piping right in front of the muffler broke away. Pipe and muffler scraping the ground. Moral of the story...always have some bungees around. Car is loud as hell now but cool spool music. Need to decide what to do about the exhaust, but may try to see if i can just get the Thermal muffler put back on the pipe somehow.

Got there in time to watch the bride walk down the aisle...slightly dirty tie and all.

finally a done deal. had the Thermal muffler welded back on with it tighter to the body and further back so not as ablatant. forgot how good this exhaust sounds, after i readjusted the downpipe. doesn't stink like exhaust in the cabin anymore

before (with my cousin's Z and G)hated how it looked like this



after

Looks much better! Glad you could salvage it.

Was it your wedding? I wonder how many grooms have been late due to broken Mitsus. I know I had to leave mine at home when I got married.

ha! no, just someone close to me. honestly though when this car runs right, nothing else has come close to making me as happy as she does.
