If you’re local vehicle servicemen tells you that there is a problem with your vehicle’s exhaust then it doesn’t always heave to mean costly repairs using specialist equipment.
Occasionally exhausts can split over time; perhaps due to rust or something solid making contact with a part of an exhaust but before you pay to have it replaced or welded, you way want to try using simple jubilee clips.
You’ll soon these quite often on old cars, and they are essentially clips that work similarly to welding, they line up to the parts of the exhaust and fit them together, and they can actually be rather reliable even over a significant amount of time. If you have a problem with your exhaust then remember to try a cheap repair first, because it could just do the trick.
