My Exhaust exploded! - Honda Prelude Forum

Well...I knew it was leaking. Atleast it gives me a good excuse to get a new one.

How you like that temporary fix?

Little bit of a...hole there. Hey, why doesn't the B pipe connect to the muffler!?

i would be affraid to use duct tape on that. exhaust gets hot, i would be affraid that the tape would catch fire and burn.

DudewithaLude · 04-20-2003, 07:16 PM

yea, once you start your car, that tape is going to fail

concLude · 04-20-2003, 07:19 PM

SWEET, video tape the impending fire pleaseeeee

Imported204 · 04-20-2003, 07:49 PM

The same thing happened to me before i got my World Sport, and damn was it loud.

G_Loc · 04-20-2003, 07:58 PM

you'd be amazed how much duct tape can hold...

at my school, this guy tried to torch some tape off a chunk of metal (no itty bitty torch either... it was an acetalyne torch) and the tape simply charred. it didn't catch fire, it sorta just melted... heh. we couldn't take it off anyways

but its a bad idea to use it anyways, buy exhaust repair tape or something. the whole thing will fall once you hit a bump or something

Yes I love the way you fixed it. That is how us mexicans fix everything with duct tape. I had a car that was pretty much made of duct tape, it held about every part to the car.

Templar · 04-21-2003, 05:59 AM

Its on like that just so it doesn't rub as much. Not like it really matters since it is so busted anyways.

hey man.. I've been working on some other stuff lately, mainly building some speakers for my HT setup. after a while on this board the topic material just got recycled.. there's only so many things about the prelude that you can talk about I guess.

Montaay · 04-21-2003, 03:44 PM
