OK I have the Bonez Precat replacement pipe and from that to the main cat is a pipe, mine has a hole in it, now I can either be a cheap ass and JB weld the ******* hole or buy a new pipe. Is there any aftermarket pipes that fit fromthe precat the the main cat or can I just buy a RB dp and will it fit from the turbo to the main cat with no problems?

How big is the hole? If it's not too large, just weld in a bung for a wideband O2 sensor. If it's larger than that, just have any exhaust shop weld in a new section or patch it. No need to toss it just for a little hole.

The hole is a little smaller than a dime, dont know how it got there,prob just be a cheap ass and JB weld it up!!!

JB Weld will look like crap and probably not last. If you're not going to have it welded, do this. Take a Campbells soup can, cut both ends off, cut it vertically down the middle, and hose clamp that around an Autozone exhaust patch. It'll look ok an last as long as the car with no leaks. You could even heat blanket it and no one would ever know you did anything.

they sell exaust patches, if there is a hole and its the whole thing is rusty and crappy then your main problem might be cleaning it so you can patch it.



I would buy a new pipe, being under a car with rust falling in my face from ghetto rigging a exaust pipe thats only going to get worse isnt how I like to spend my free time.
