I still cannot get over the amount of noise the E21 makes when there's a small hole in the exhaust! Okay, it's not such a small hole--- the entire bracket for the center resonator-to-muffler broke off. Waaaa, waaaaa, waaaaah! all over town. So bad that one afternoon the GPD paid a visit to me about it. Yes, officer! I'll fix it right away!
This is a picture of the part after I finally Dremelled out the pipe and banged it off the car! Thank goodness for Dremels! A sawsall would not fit in there. This effort took about 3 hours of jacking, cleaning, cutting, more cutting, fitting, welding, starting so I could tell where the leaks were, rewelding, restarting, rewelding, etc...
The final product after about 5 passes with the MIG and trying to plug holes just beyond the patch. The cold galvanization spray will help a bit. This week I have started hearing other noises and it's only a matter of time before Pixie will need the entire exhaust system redone.
