: Will
: Hopefully someone here on the board can help? I have a Greddy catback exhaust (three years old), which is a two piece bolt-on exhaust; the front half is a pipe/resonator/pipe, which is bolted directly behind the cat. converter. The second half is a pipe/muffler/tip which is bolted behind the first half. The problem is the welding connecting the pipe after the resonator has corroded causing a slight exhaust leak. The corrosion looks more like a crack than a typical rusted out joint. Anyway, took it to a Meineke place, but the guy suggested that I purchase another front half; he'll just remove old and bolt on new. Sounded logical, so I called Greddy, but was told that they only sell the system with both pieces, not by one piece alone. Went to 2 other places and they were hesistant about doing welding (both were not very busy). For the price paid and the short duration I have owned it, I am not looking to buy another entire system.
: Anyway, enough venting; I don't know enough about welding, so I don't know why welding is such a big deal? Does anyone know of a reputable shop who can look at this and maybe do some welding work? Or, if welding is out of the question, then I'm open to other suggestions. Thanks.
