Money Saving Exhaust Repair -EricTheCarGuy

My friend came to me with a broken exhaust and he didn't have a lot of money to spend. I decided to weld the pipe rather than replace it. The cost, $0. With a little time, some preparation, and a welder you can save a lot of money on exhaust repairs.

With a little time and practice your welding will get better. Repairs like this are a great way to practice and save yourself some money at the same time.
