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.
There are a "few" threads on the Other subforums showcasing some peoples Vehicles whether stock or modified
Just thought a thread like this might have some good pic's of some P38's.

Afternoon all.
Been trying everything I can think of to narrow down “issues” with my ac.
Will put details here in case it helps anyone else! Thought I would put a new post rather than updating my other ac posts. Hope...
So I posted previously about my 2001 P38 that I bought with a known EAS problem (was on the bump stops). I'll cut through all the troubleshooting I did to the present situation: I did find that the rear springs were pretty bad (heavily corroded metal connectors to the air lines) and front...
Have a 2001 P38 that's exhibiting all the signs of bad head gaskets...overheating, bubbling coolant, burn off coming through the vents. Happens after about 15 min of driving. The temp gauge pegs red and then falls to normal over and over. Had the thermostat replaced which kept things under...
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...
