Ok so my center and rear mufflers are rusted through. I'm thinking about simply going with a magnaflow single tip system. The isssue is the connection to the center muffler from the cats is seriously rusted as well. Not sure after I take it apart that it will even be usable. And not sure i can cut the connection off and have a new one re-welded. I hate to have to replace the whole cat system. Any thoughts.
The tubing looks weldable to me. Bracket is obviously wasted, but looks like the tubing would clean up OK.
No way to tell for sure until you get into it and give it a little cleaning up though.
Was hoping to be able to install the magnaflow myself without a trip to the exhaust shop to weld on a new bracket. Oh well. I'll clean up the tubing around the bracket to see how bad the rust is. Although it's not rusted through on the tubing the rust looks pretty deep. Hope I can weld it.
Deep surface rust IMHO. I would be very surprised if it didnt take a weld without issues. You may be able to clamp it on if welding is an issue, tube looks good enough for that to me.
If you go the clamp route, spend a few extra bucks and get stainless steel band style clamps rather than the u-bolt style. They won't rust and in my experience hold better, although you may need to go torque them a little once or twice a year. Something like this or just the flat ones:

The band clamps go over the joint where the two pipes mate. Just like a traditional U-bolt exhaust clamp. So yeah, you can't have a flange in the middle of it.
Hello.the car is 1998 p38 4.6 hse.
I did the bypass after switching to coil springs.
Now when i change from hi to low.it doesn't engage on N. Instead i have to put it in P on the low side.
Low gear is selected and mechanically all is fine. But now it keeps beeping with the dashboard sign of two...
Time to do the front end. Over the last year I’ve felt it getting loose and wayward so we had a detailed look up on the hoist with a bright torch and a hefty lever. Here's the list:
Two ball joints cactus, one on the way out, with one OK (I'll get all four done).
Tie rod end (on the drag link)...
Hi guys,
Has anyone had any success with repairing a diesel viscous fan?
My range is over cooling and the fan is very stiff (when the engine isn't running).
Any advice would be appreciated
Many thanks
Could anyone provide a link to instructions for replacing the scuttle [or plenum] filter, please ?
I have read through loads of threads about problems concerning these filters, and someone even posted an answer about following the posted answers in the forum somewhere but didn't bother...
Continuing to have coolant issues and would like your suggestions for next steps to diagnose my issue:
Just replaced HG and inspected (visual) liner/blocks. All seemed to go okay (thanks for the help). Didn't see any visual evidence of slipped liner or cracked block. HG that I took out...
