How to fix hole in B-pipe

Hi all,

Glad to see the forums are back up and running. Onto my question. I have a slight hole in my b-pipe right at the neck of the pipe that meets the flange joining to the muffler. Does anyone know a quick fix or do I have to patch it by welding? Can I use some sort of product that will seal the hole?

Thanks.

best fix for a hole in the pipe, is a new pipe. not being funny, but if it rusted through, welding won't hold if it can be done at all, and any type of patch will burn thru shortly. but if you must, get a muffler wrap.

use some tape.

Go to a muffler shop and get it fixed.

they have "muffler mender" in paste form and in paper mache(ish) form. i fixed/filled a muffler rust spot after i grinded off the rust and my buddy repaired his leaky exhaust pipe. works so far... look for that at local auto parts stores. goodluck
