When the harsh belching from the leaking exhaust pipe of the car is about to become the last slight that will eventually push you to complete insanity, here is a simple way to make you least worry about the exhaust pipe holes, including empty beer cans and Some originality.

This is very similar to JT's super hacky oil pan repair, but uses lightweight beer cans instead of pennies as patches. It’s good to use pennies, but if you are a real cheap bastard like me, the idea of ​​sacrificing money to fix things is an abomination, no matter what the denomination. This is where the beer can comes in. You will drink that beer anyway (or already drink it). In addition, if you mess up and feel depressed, you can drink more beer to calm your nerves. This also provides you with more available patch materials.

Of the four cars I own, only one can really be considered "modern", next year...

As always, use appropriate safety equipment, consult the manual, and stay awake. Of course, you can also use an empty soda can. But who drinks canned soda anymore?

When I moved from California to New York a few years ago, my ol' Subaru wagon had an exhaust system similar to Swiss cheese. But did I buy new pipes and hangers? It must not work! I took it out of the can with JB Weld/beer and hung it on the car with a bunch of old hangers. It took a few years to fail, and that was only because I abused the car on the rugged mountain roads.

The pain of survival is not equipped with one, but two 5.0Ah batteries, and even a soft bag for storage.

We have all seen TV commercials in which studio actors and families lead a happy life...

do not worry. There is always a bush machinery repair program that will get you on the road immediately. But keep in mind that those who get stuck at the local security checkpoint may not be able to agree on the cool factor of your work for hackers like this one. But oh well, can't please everyone.

Many people will look at the rusty 62-year Holden EJ wagon missing a bunch of parts and decide...

The following are the conditions required to complete the job:

First, file off the rust on the edge of the hole, and then sand the surface of the exhaust pipe to about 1 inch around the hole. You must have something to make your patch stick to.

Then, wipe the area around the hole with acetone to make the epoxy stick to it.

Use a wire dike or a razor blade to make a small patch that is large enough to cover the hole, plus about 1/8 inch around it. As you can see, I chose the real Pilsner seal just to be tacky. Next, cut out a square patch that is much larger than the small piece, but not wrapped around the pipe all the time.

This is the rough ratio you should pursue. This will ensure that the patch will not leak.

Use equal amounts of both and mix thoroughly. If you use JB Kwik, please work quickly. Just like its name, it is set up quickly.

The small patch should still have some beer cans bent to it, so it will stick to the top of the hole. The amount is enough to cover the bottom of the patch, but not too much to prevent the epoxy from dripping in the exhaust pipe.

This is where Kwik comes in handy, especially when you are working on an upside-down surface. It will solidify in a few minutes, so you can proceed to the next step without worrying about fixing the small patch in place.

Once you are sure that the small patch is set up well enough that it won't move, it's time to apply more epoxy on it. You are not using beer cans to stop leaks, but as a form of putting epoxy on the holes. With two layers of epoxy resin, the pipe will not leak. Make sure that the second layer is thin, uniform and smooth, and there are no gaps or flow lines inside. Think about rough body skills here.

This part may be unnecessary, but I will do it anyway to make sure there is no leakage. It only takes a few extra minutes. Fix that part with a hose clamp-I call it the outer patch/shield to make it sound formal.

You don't want that long tail to hang on who knows what, so do yourself a favor and cut it off with a wire dam.

That's it, you are done! Listen to the baby's snoring. Aren't you proud?
