Tail pipe under car severed in one place?

Question

My tail pipe is completely severed in one place, still perfectly attached to the car. as if a knife cut it. Can I seal it with tape pipe tape (Advance Auto) and then put a clamp completely around the break to bridge both sides so it will hold?

Midas want $215.00 to replace the entire tail pipe. The muffler is not damaged.

Other ideas??

Answer 1

sure why not you can use wire also

Answer 2

If it were me I would fit another piece of pipe, of either slightly smaller or slightly larger diameter, to connect the two and then seal with a clip at either end. Good luck. h

Answer 3

hey man wats up man i can save you alot of cash if you can do the work and its not that hard. first just measure how long the damage is on the pipe and cut off with a sawsas or hack so lyour choice and once you cut that piece go to orielys and get the same piece you cut off but new its probably like $6 for the pipe and just buy some clamps to tighten the ends of pipe or you can take it to any muffler shop and they probalby charge you like $25 to weld it but its your choice well i hope my advice helps you.
