Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 200596 Accord EX exhaust pipe question
96 Accord EX 4 cyl 5 spd. The exhaust pipe has rusted through in two spots, once at the first major bend leaving the engine compartment and the second at the bend right before the muffler. I would like to fix the root of the problem rather than just replace the exhaust pipe only to have it rust through again. Any thoughts? > 96 Accord EX 4 cyl 5 spd.

My wife's 4-runner does this. She drives 10 blocks to work every day. Patching the holes really doesn't work. The only thing you can do is replace the pipes. There isn't anything you can do to fix the root of the problem. All pipes will inevitably rust. The only thing you can do to prolong the pipes from rusting through is avoiding short trips.

It's more expensive but replace it with a stainless steel after-market pipe. -- Graham W http://www.gcw.org.uk/ PGM-FI page updated, Graphics Tutorial WIMBORNE http://www.wessex-astro-society.freeserve.co.uk/ Wessex Dorset UK Astro Society's Web pages, Info, Meeting Dates, Sites & Maps Change 'news' to 'sewn' in my Reply address to avoid my spam filter. |
