amf1932 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 From what I've heard, J-B WELD doesn't work too well on exhaust systems. This might be because of the wide heat range that these exhaust components have to work in. Besides, your resonator might be too rusted out to salvage.

Used JBweld and now no leak. the Pan is right by the exhaust and get very very hot. No leak in 1.5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
