This is on the 01 A4 2.8

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR last night i bottem'd out pulling out of a gas station. So anyways i herd a HUGEEE scrape not a little one i normally get. My car then sounded like i lost my muffler. So i pull over make sure its still on there. Today i take it over to this guys shop to get under my car, were looking for a leak. and WOAhh there it is in the flesh my Torn apart flex pipe. I then procceded to drive to Minike(sp?) and they wanted 225 Bills for it.

Any solutions? I can weld but to get up at the top of the flex part that is going to be extreemly hard is there any other solutions i can do to fix this problem?????

 

unfortunately there isn't since the downpipe is still curved in that area. if it wasn't you could a new one on there. you would have weld it. if you can find a piece of metal or something, cover that hole up and then wrap it with muffler wrapping tape it would serve as a temporary thing.

 

get it welded back on there for 100 bucks no more than that.. thats how much it costed me w/ a new flex

 

well here minikie is the cheap exhaust place and they siad 225 where did you get yours done????/


AHHHHH it sounds like a 4cyl honda civic!!! I can't drive this. Not to mention im meeting up with Klum00 and going to speedtuning this weekend and my car sounds like sheeeeeit!

 

i feel ur pain my whole exhaust fell apart and i am runing test pipe and downpipe and nothing after it and it completely sucks... drives nice but sounds terrible from 3000 to like 45000 rpm but then sounds like a race car... and back fires like nuts (sometimes it shoots flames according to my friends)... i saw in autozone a couple weeks ago something like a cast for holes in the exhaust for like 20 bucks. you might wanna check that out as a temporary fix.

 

I got the stuff from Autozone, its like a wrap type thing that shrinks onto the pipe. It should hold for baltimore but this person who i know her BF is awesome with Audi's and on tuesday or something he is going to fix it good.

 

how does it sound with the wrap? i have to do mine too but i've been waiting for someone to try it lol

 

go to a junkyard and jus pull one

 

or ask one of the many people parting out cars in the classifieds here and on AZ and AW

 

well the part itself is cheap, it's the labor that is super expensive
