jb weld on exhuast components...

[xcelr8n]

hey guys, jb weld is stuff stuff I know that, but can i use it on parts of my exhuast, I know the manifold will melt it, but can i use it on say the cat area, halfway down the exhuast pipe...

i wondered about that too...glad to know im not alone. I'd go for it, whats the worst that can happen?

EGT temps near the mani / engine bay will melt JB weld.

believe me, i was in the same situation and i actually TRIED it. JB weld on hte o2 housing.. no go.

as far as down past the cat.. i think it should work , since temps wont go past 300 or so

I was wondering the same thing, except for use on where the exhaust tip is welded to the muffler. There is a slight leak in the weld bead that the idiots at the muffler shop ran, and I wanted to know if JB Weld or something similar would be fine to seal it?

For back there, just use muffler putty. It's on the rack next to the gas tank epoxy, muffler wrap, Barr's and Pine Tree air fresheners. Or, make the muffler shop fix their weld.

most shops will be 100% glad to fix their welds for free, because it makes the customer happy.
