Exhaust Paste

[Gwyri]

Was wondering if someone can tell me. I have found a hole on my Exhaust on the Flexi pipe, pre-cat and I wanted to repair it with a Flexi Wrap and some Gun Gum Paste. Can this be used on the Flaxi Section of the exhaust?

I was told it can't because the Paste isn't flexible and once hardened will crack thus opening the hole once more, are they correct in telling me this?

 

Thanks in Advance

not only that but the paste can polute and damage the cat if any of it breaks off and gets in there!

hi

i used to have a motor spares shop and sell lots of the paste and bandages etc.

flexi wrap bandages are only good on normal tubing

these flexis are a pain and no the paste will not survive long, depending where the split is and which way it runs some welders are able to repair them, ive seen it done but you have to be good at welding as it has to remain flexible,

 

try and find a scapper or shell out
