Well i bought the blazer recently from my dads buddie and i have been working on it trying to get it ready for when i hit 16 3 months lol cant wait but it has had an exhaust leak for awhile and the guy we bought it from worked on it at our house cuz we have a car lift so it made it esay but anyways he replaced sections of the pipe and just clammped them on but it still leaks so when i got it i thought mabey it was the manifold gaskets replaced them and the doughnut gasket on the passenger side cuz i took the manifold off so i thought itd be a good idea to replace (that was a problem in itself none could give me the right bolts for it the were all 3 1/2 instead of like 2 in but thats what they told me it was and the wouldnt take em back nor did they have the right ones and at 8 dollars a bolt i thought well i will space them and that worked:banghead: ) so thats all fixed up there now my problem is in the back part of the pip at almost every joint it leaks and like said its just clamped together is there anything besides replaceing the pipe that i can do im trying to get my dad to weld them but so far he has not so i thought mabey theres something else i could try thanx for all the help?

If you want to DIY it you can go the parts place and get some exhaust pipes and clamps and have at it .
But a muffler shop usuallly can fix it cheaper than you can buy parts for it.
Good luck.

No I did not say that.:grinyes:
You need to replace what pipes are bad if any are bad.
If just clamp leaking tighten clamps or try a new clamp or double clamp.
What ever it takes to get the job done.
