1) I'm sorry if this has already been posted somehow.

2) I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question.

My muffler is hanging quite low - not "immediate danger" low, but still low.

I just found out that I have to drive to Danville, VA tomorrow and I'm worried about it.

Can I fix it myself?

How?




Thank you thank you thank you awesome garage people.

10/21/2005 10:12:28 PM

its most likely just a torn exhaust hanger.

10/21/2005 10:19:47 PM

umm take it to a muffler shop those of us who can weld don't really like to assume the liability of having molten metal near fuel,brake lines etc.

10/21/2005 10:25:07 PM

when i say tomorrow i mean at 5am

so there's no way i could fix this tonight...with a coat hanger?

10/21/2005 10:41:47 PM

10/21/2005 11:14:32 PM

take it to henry's muffler

10/22/2005 12:38:01 AM

coat hanger = temporary fix, after that take it to a muffler shop and get em to put a new hanger on, or figure out what the problem is.

take a picture of the bottom of the car where the muffler is hanging down and post it.

10/22/2005 2:23:29 PM

10/31/2005 9:56:12 AM

just rip it the rest of the way off, itll be loud, but it wont hurt anything

10/31/2005 11:30:14 AM

dont put zip ties on a muffler unless you want some melted zip ties and a muffler that is hanging again after a few miles...

I had a '93 camry back in high school and as a joke took out the cat (b/c it was bolt on/off) for a day. HOLY SHIT it was so incredibly loud and obnoxious and shook the floorboards terribly. It was good for a laugh though.

But back on subject, is the noise from the exhaust system getting louder/changing at all, or is the only symptom that it is hanging low? If it's just hanging, then I'm with everybody else, a coat hanger as a temp fix, then muffler shop to permanently repair. DO NOT PAY MORE THAN $50 to get this fixed if it's just hanging, and don't let them talk you into a new muffler. Good luck!
