Re: patching exhaust hole without welding

the only info i can say is, i patched a hole in the exhaust pipe from the muffler to the motor with stuff called "muffler mender" .. which is a compound/apoxy stuff and it worked fine.. Im not sure how big of a hole you are talking about, or even if you want to use that, just figured i would throw that out

not real big, the clamp/hanger broke off, and took part of the pipe with it.. so about the size of a quarter/half dollar.
