Go fast, don’t die.
I found an exhaust leak where my y-pipe meets my cat in my 94 FZJ80. My resonator had been pretty beat up and I had been wanting a new muffler for awhile. After searching for a shop to make all my dreams come true I went to a very “reputable” local muffler shop and had my cat-back done. They have been in business for a couple decades. They had great google reviews and I got a killer quote. They also installed my new pre-cat o2 sensors while they were under there. I know next to nothing about exhausts or what to expect sowanted to ask everyone’s opinion about this...
Circled in red is my y-pipe leak post-cat. What’s circled in green is what they welded on to the flange that connects to the end of the y-pipe. My questions are...
#1) Should they have included the y-pipe in the cat-back work? This is why I requested “cat-back” in the first place. When I thought “cat-back” I thought it literally included everything south of the cats.
#2) Is this a crappy weld job? I’m not an expert, but this seems a little sketchy.
