Hi again,
About 3 weeks ago, I ran into a giant pothole, blew out my tire, and cracked the exhaust 'Y' pipe at the horizontal flexible looking portion. It cracked in half. Tried to temporarily clamp it until I could get it more permanently fixed. That cut down on noise. I had a mechanic put on a piece of pipe and 2 heavy duty clamps. He said he wasn't sure how long it would last. I may have to go the expensive route and replace the exhaust pipe and catalytic converter. I was wondering if anyone knows of another cheaper way to "repair" this pipe so it's quieter, and less pollutant. I sent in a claim to the city, but I'm pretty sure they'd deny any claim for the cost of the correct repair since the car is 22 years old. I was told it could cost about $600, if not much more. I looked up some prices on autozone.com, found the pipe for $166.99, and a universal catalytic converter for $70.99......can I use a universal catalytic converter in my 1987 9000S non-turbo?
Thanks Again!
