Exhaust cut right after catalytic converter.
Hi all,
A few weeks ago I went for a drive to help a friend pick up some furniture for their new apartment. The way over everything was normal. Stopped at the pickup location and came back about 10 minutes later to load up. Started driving and the exhaust was really loud. Could definitely smell some fumes after a while and drove the short distance with the windows down.
Checked it out closer today and the exhaust was completely cut right after my catalytic converter. Was thinking of using one of those pipes that slides over both ends and you clamp down to seal, however there isn’t a ton of pipe left on the catalytic converter side and the welding prevents the pipe from sliding on.
This is a 1994 Nissan d21. The frame has some rust, nothing too bad but it’s starting to be more than surface rust so maybe only a couple years left.
What do you think the best diy option would be going forward? I would rather not have to buy a grinder to clean up the welding. I do have a sawzall with a metal blade which is how I was going to cut the bit of pipe further back.
