Default Aghh! I'm so pissed right now


My exhaust has been rattling all day. I crawled under it a minute ago and what do I see. The exhuast inlet on the muffler itself is completely snapped off. The inlet of the muffler and my exhaust pipe are still welded togeher. What a piece of **** muffler. BTW I have a dynomax super turbo muffler. I think Dynomax has a lifetime warranty on them right? If so they will be getting their piece of **** muffler back. Could it be welded back togeter and hold up good? Help me soon, I need to get this fixed ASAP.

Mine is rattling too. I have the SPS cat back with muffler. I think the cat-back is hitting the exhaust shield or the hanger for the cat-back is broke. Iono, takin it to the local exhaust shop tomorrow to have them fix it. Looks like it needs to be tightened up a bit so the pipe doesn't move around as much

I know what you mean, but I never expected the fuc*ing inlet pipe to completly snap off. It used to rattle slightly at stops somtimes, maybe the rattling finally caused it to snapped. If I can get it fixed, I'm putting on another muffler hanger. If I have to, I'll run without a muffler for a while, fuggit!

Whoa, a little crooked there, eh? My problem wasn't the installer fault, it's dynomax's. I'm calling first thing in the morning and telling them exactly what I think of their crap.

So, do you all think that the inlet can be welded back on the muffler and hold up good?

Well did it rust through and break off, or did their weld just break? If the steel is still in good condition it should weld and hold no problem.

Wow, my dynomax super turbo muff has always rattled too. I always thought it was a shotty job done by the muffler shop, but maybe I am wrong. I will take a look to see if there is a problem with the muffler. BTW, I just ordered my Thermal R&D on tuesday....so I guess problem solved.

The metal is in good shape with no rust, I guess the weld just broke. Do you think it will hold up for a long time if it was welded back on?
