Hi All
Bought a speedster replica and I have to replace the muffler (it was hit on something, dented, and the seams were split). found the same one to replace it with, but found out the builder of the car modified the original (moved the tail pipe). I need to do the same modification to the replacement muffler. After I cut the tail pipe off, should I butt weld in the patch, or can I simply go with a bigger patch and cover the hole? Does the air pressure in the cannister make a difference on which method is used? I am a bit concerned about potential leaks if I butt weld and have a pin hole that I cant see. The modification is not visible once the muffler is installed. Thanks! Scott S |
