I think it also has the capability to pull GPS location information, because it "suggested" one of my neighbors down the street, who i wouldnt want to friend, as well some other person I "thought" ive seen on the other end of my neighborhood. I tend to keep my location button turned off, but had it on at the time.

Dont we just love technology...

Cheap Chinese made down pipe is giving out. Any suggestions for a patch to give me a few more miles out of it?

ITs my Subaru not Biscuit (that s***ty Chinese downpipe still looks great. )

Maybe @RedHeadedStepChild can send you a scrap of a Yoohoo can?

I can't tell if that is a bend or not in the photo ... if reasonably straight these work well ... (link goes to a random size)

It's a bend. a 3.5" ish section prior to a 3" downpipe.

Weld. Or maybe try that fiber tape for exhaust.

I used a guinness can (more metal length to work with), clamps and the fiber tape over that for my last break - lasted a couple of months before breaking again....

I used the fiber tape on our BMW muffler for about six months no noise stuff was awesome and cheap but that was it's life span however it was basically holding the muffler together I'm sure it would last a lot longer on something that size

I will gladly pass one along, however, it should be noted, these are precision engineered hi temp exhaust retrofit YooHoo! cans and are quite costly.

This. I've used the fiber tape before. Works pretty well but doesn't last long (a month or two, maybe less).

Thanks. I'll lay some metal over the hole and wrap it with fiber tape. Hate that damn stuff - inevitably ends up making my hands itch no matter how many rubber gloves I put on.

If using metal to patch you can get a little extra thickness using an old can of beans over an aluminum drink can. I'm sure I have an out-of-date can of something I can donate to the cause.

I had to take my gloves off last time since it kept sticking to the gloves - no itching at all with this one...........

...or at least a 1/2 hour between BFE and a bit east of Fayetteville.

Ok, can of beans has been fiber taped to the downpipe...

How long before they're ready to eat?

If you didn't poke a hole in the top, they will provide you with an audible signal of their doneness
