i gave my car a little look over and noticed a hole in my muffler about the size of my palm. Can this be patched or should i go ahead and get it replaced? also, would it sound weird to have to different mufflers? i plan on doing the whole exhaust soon but i dont have the funds for it at the moment. Or will the hole be ok for the time being? sorry, in new at this, thanx in advance for any help.

I supposed you could weld a patch on there until you buy new mufflers.. if your buying a new system soon that is.

If your not buying new exhaust for a while, i would go ahead and replace the mufflers... cheapest mufflers (quiet ones) are like $50 a pop from any exhaust shop.

hmmm...i think you may be able to patch it with some of that exhaust leak wrap/patch stuff that u can get at auto zone. I have one question though, a hole the size of your palm? thats huge...wasnt the car loud as hell with a big ass hole like that. I would have thought u would notice that right away. anyways good luck with that

Well, the car always had a unique rumble but i honeslty didnt notice it getting much louder. thanks for the input, ill look into the patch thing. Is it expensive or does it last long?

Any muffler shop should be able to do it... i would think no more than $40 depending on the hole etc. You should call a muffler shop, see what the cheapester muffler is... probably $40-$60.
