Honestly I think the most impressive part of these videos are the camera angles getting all the action. That takes some work in itself
Thats the job.
A nice thing about living in the woods.... you don't have to worry about someone stealing your catalytic converter. 🌲🤪🌲
So true!
Except Smokey the bear
You'd be surprised
@Dmac 2J Well, I have two German Shepherds that make that decision.🤣
The reason people steel catalytic converters is that they believe that it will convert their Ford into a Cadillac. Also, some people believe that the Hazzard button on their car will turn their vehicles into the General Lee.
Good idea on those ear plugs. I've dug more rust, slush and mud out of my ears more times than I can count. Should've thought of that years ago. Thanks for the idea. P.S. It's good to see that nobody stole your catalytic converter.
thanks.....no joke on the cat. It was shocking to see the muffler cut off but the cat still sitting there
@@cheapwheels9828 -Maybe some thief could not tell the difference between a muffler and a catalytic converter.
At around 7:05 you answered the question I've always wondered. Guess one doesn't need to be a welder to attempt this! Thanks man super helpful! I hope I can fix my Mustang now.
my comment is a CAUTION to the car owner..... you go to a shop, and ask for a new muffler. The SHOP GUY is only focused on cutting off the old muffler, selling you and installing for you a new muffler. If you can be positioned kind of close to the shop area, keep an eye when the guy uses the cutting torch to cut off the old muffler. He will cut around the tail pipe, and will probably not cut thru all the way.... but he is not worried. Because he has a big metal mallet, and just bangs on the rusty muffler until it falls off. Sounds simple.... he installs and welds the new muffler and off you go..... but a few days later, you smell smoke or hear extra, different noise coming from your engine. That is because when the shop guy banged on your rusty muffler, the pounding caused a break or a crack at the engine side (on the EXHAUST MANIFOLD) that connects to the exhaust pipe that leads to the catalytic converter or to the muffler. So before the shop guy starts, tell him, use the torch but dont bang the heck out of my rusty muffler (just say: the last time I changed the muffler, the guy caused a crack in my exhaust manifold........
That's just cause you had a bad mechanic
@@GENX80.every mechanic could be bad ya don’t know, most knowadays tryna rip people off as fast as they can
Great job Dave! A comment though, if you notice at the back end of the catalytic converter there was a broken off support from the truck frame that was meant as a support for the exhaust system that still needs to be placed and you will also notice a mating groove in the bottom of the exit pipe from the catalytic converter where the support mates up. You might be able to pick up that part from the auto wreckers. Take care, Bob
Thanks. I'm aware of it..but I didnt cover it in the video. If I cant find the part, there are several good places to improvise a hanger.
Thanks, I'm replacing my 1993 bronco exhaust. Someone in the past put a mean sounding muffler in, I am tired of load so I'm following your video.
Thanks

Hey Dave thank you for this older video I thought they all had to be welded but now I know that they don't have to be and if I need to do a muffler I could do it myself now too thank you Dave
Thanks for all the great tips on replacing the muffler and tailpipe.
Glad to help
Man, where was this video when I needed an exhaust a year ago! I was in the exact same boat with a C10 I picked up for $800 bucks, and unlucky me spent $400 on an exhaust that woulda done exactly what yours did. Live and learn.
sorry
You can purchase exhaust systems online. I replaced the muffler back on a 2002 Tacoma for $65 delivered vs. $400 at the local muffler shop. Just cut the old one off and slide the new one on.
Excellent video.
Thanks for the info
Why are you explaining what he just did in the video????
PB Blaster and a large pry bar or crow bar works wonders on rusty rubber exhaust hangers. Great video and a much needed channel!
Thanks !!!!
My favorite “new” channel on RUclips. Super practical stuff. My 1993 F150 sure needs some TLC. Only has 115,000 miles on it, but she has some rust...especially when we are talking about the exhaust.. We paid $2200 for the truck. Looked at new and it was a bit more than that :)
I appreciate that.
Good timing there - have to go in to pick up a muffler and tail pipe for my ‘89 F150 tomorrow. A job for over the Easter weekend, I think. I did a patch job on it last year and it’s pretty much only the patch that’s left now lol. Going to be doing a lot of the jobs you have to freshen mine up this year - I have an 8’ bed with a high rise cap I have put back on to make a camper for trips this summer. Might even video the process - never done videos before, though. Worth a try, I guess. Thanks for the uploads 👍🏻
Give it a shot....its pretty enjoyable
Welp off to buy some clamps. Thought I'd have to take it back to the shop for them to weld it on again. Thanks for the vid!!
This video was exactly what I needed- really appreciate your work on it!!
Late sleeping neighbors all throughout the western hemisphere are applauding. Author! Nice video lesson. Bless
Many thanks!
Dave, thank you for this VERY informative video. I’m about to put a Black Widow Race Venom on my 2011 Expedition. Can’t wait!!! 😎
Another great job well done Dave. I recently caught two guys red handed in the process of stealing my catalytic converter at 2am. I won't say exactly what happened to them while we waited for the cops to turn up, . Turned out they had 17 other stolen cats in the back of their vehicle.
D in the U.K.
give them the biz!
Thanks Dave! I'll be helping my son with the exhaust for his F150 very soon 😀
Great video, came here as I have to replace my own exhaust with no idea whatsoever how to do it and this video makes for a great tutorial on how to approach that task.
Glad you liked it!
Dave, You seem to anticipate all of the problems my 2010 Ford Ranger is beginning to have. Now all I have to do is get off my butt and get them done. I'm not a spring chicken anymore so at times it's hard to even get down on the ground. But I am really enjoying your very instructional videos. I was able to put a new tailgate handle in when the old one broke recently. Enjoying both of your channels and was posting previously under the name "Axelbrode".
Thanks
I'm really liking this new channel, Dave. All just very interesting - I can now see why Guys like to fix up old cars. It's like cooking - very satisfying to see the final product. Be Well, Dave!
It sure is.....its empowering to fix your own stuff. For me it used to be a have-to thing.....now I generally dont have to fix a vehicle sunday night in the snow to drive it to work monday morning
Dave, another great video! Wish you showed us how it sounded before. That’s some fine work and sure looks nice. You can’t beat a new cat-back exhaust for $70. My friend, blessings to you and yours!
Thanks
Great video! Have a great week Dave!
Thanks! You too!
I have a love hate relationship with exhaust. I hate doing it but I love seeing shiny new pipes go in whether it’s a stock replacement or a performance system.
Thank you sir, we do appreciate these types of videos.
My pleasure
Made it look easy. I love this. My weekend project
Another awesome job, Dave!
Thank you!
Nice job. You made it look easy. As hard as I try, even with googles on, rust always seems to find its way in eye. 🤣
Very true!
Another great DIY auto repair that saves time and money!
Thanks
Another nice one Dave. Please keep up the great videos
Thanks, will do!
Awesome video, good editing. Couldn't be any better.
Thanks
Another banger Dave. Nice work
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome nice job on those camera angles and the work Dave 👊
Thanks !!!
Liked solely for the 3-N-1 oil and channel lock bushing trick lol not that there isn't much more great info, just because that's been my bane in the past
Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I am really enjoying these videos. You are very detailed. Thank you
Side note, the new phone is in the mail and I'll be able to catch up.
Right on. Thanks
Messing with mufflers. Almost as much fun as replacing rusty brake lines.
Cheers Dave!
yeah.....loads of fun. LOL
I love the truck and the new channel! 😎
Thanks
Almost 7,000 subs!! Steady growth!! Keep those great videos coming, Dave! You’ve got a great niche in Cheap Wheels. If you make the videos, they will come.Thank you. ❤️👍
Did you manage to do a whole video without your faithful sidekick, or was she just off camera this time? Love you guys. ❤️😘🙏🏼 God bless you all and keep you safe.
Thanks !
OD, ID...E,I,E,I,O...😂
LOL
Thanks for the video! You made it clear and concise! I have a pretty clean edge on my pipe and it the muffler and tailpipe should just slip right on, just have a rusted clamp in the way I need to figure out how to get it off .
Better paying $150 than what was quoted at a shop for $800! PIRATES!
Excellent video. Of course, $30 is now worth $14 and the tailpipe is the same. An unsolved mystery!
Good stuff Dave,,, be well out there!
Thanks
Your videos are awesome.
I can remember "fixing" a separated exhaust pipe using a soda can, muffler tape, and two clamps! Curbside mechanics 101!!!
right on!
soup cans last longer lol
Great stuff Dave well done
Thank you kindly
Another Great Video Dave, Could you post a video how to change your air filter or fuel filter. Thanks
Yes I can
Thanks man! I bought a Camry and the muffler was handed to me in a garbage bag. I bought the gasket and cleaned the flanges and bolted it up and hung if off the mounts again. Kid we bought the car from thought iit sounded better With no muffler. 😂
Excellent content. Thanks for uploading.
my pleasure
I had no idea a muffler replacement was this easy!!! Thank you for the video!
On a truck it's not bad since you can crawl under there but on a car you'll have to jack it up or get ramps.
Hey Dave great video. Can I make a suggestion? Do a before and after. I'm sure that truck was loud before you put the exhaust on. Keep up the great work. Loving the new channel.
you're right
I wish he would do the before and after also. Would have been easy to do with this one.
My bronco was rusted just like that. I just straight piped it. Good video
right on
Well done!
Work from the existing exhaust system to the rear end, way easier.
Great video!
Thanks!
Appreciate you brother, very encouraging to do what can your self and save money. Showing us we can do more than we might know.
thanks
Thanks, I'm fixing to replace my whole exhaust on my Chevy G20 Van, this helps ! Definately wearing ear plugs. LOL
Excellent
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
I like your style kid.
Dude this is very helpful!
Glad to hear it!
This brings back memories.
right on
I would install the clamps with the thread towards the top. A ratchet wrench is perfect for that.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for keeping these beauty's on the road!!! --z ---😀
You bet!
I have a 1979 Cobra Motor Home
Been broken down for 4yrs. Easy fix but no one will let. Me hire them to fix it. Cost less than $100.00 in parts .
I will.be 78 next month and I don't look forward to another Hot.
Summer over 100. It's a 120 inside my R.V. all Summer till after
Halloween.
When gas has been left in t
he tank for 4yrs how do you treat it?
Sorry my phone no good
Learning a lot, thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Anybody faces crunched up while watching know sum rust was fallin in his eye
Awesome video and thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Dave from cheap wheels.. appreciate it!!
No problem 👍
Great Job…👍
Thank You…🙌
You could also use a racheting box end wrench works as well
right on
Nice job !
Cheers !
Thank you! Cheers!
Good video. Thanks.
Thank you
Thank you
That was great thanks
I remember when you could buy a complete bolt on exuset system at your local parts store
Honestly just saved my ass I'm going to the scrapyard for a muffler tomorow and get some clamps and a sleeve and fixing my car myself save me some money and get some power back in my car:) thank you for the video
you bet
Yes! The CT special. 😎👌
thank you so much
Great 👍 brother David
Thanks 👍
Great job!!
Thank you!
Just a tip from mechanic to mechanic, when installing exhaust clamps. Install them at a angle so they are less likely to snag anything you may run over ( like a plastic bag)
Good tip
nice job ty for the video
Glad you enjoyed it
With 20+ years in tyre exhaust fast fitting, we never took them apart we cut the rubbers and gas axed the pipes, the refitting was all new rubbers and clamps, time was money, we alway included it in the price, nothing worse than customers coming back because an old rubber let go, usually we didn't do part systems. And we always used firegum paste on every joint belt and braces. But good work,
Great points.
I didn't expect to see Bush radical when I was searching for mufflers
LOL....I do a lot of wrenchin'
Hey Dave thank you for the video I enjoyed it and I didn't know it was that easy to do it so eventually one day I'll get to mine too but mine is pretty good just that's it is bent when the guy took my truck off the flatbed beings that my truck is packed with all my stuff in it when he took it off it was so low the back of the truck the muffler bent I just hope that's he did not crack my engine block in the process
no kidding...
Awesome. It's more difficult with cars as they either need to be jacked up or put on a lift to get to them. I have a car that will need an exhaust system. Fortunately there are several manufacturers that make exhaust systems for classic cars that are ready made to fit if they are stock. The biggest problem is getting the head pipe off the exhaust manifolds without breaking the studs. I just don't trust Midas with my old vehicles.
cool dave i did,t know yea did cars too cheers
Great information. Great video. Excellent editing. Thank you! Does it not matter to clean up the rust on the gnarly end coming out of the cat? I'm surprised that seals up, but I've never done this.
...good one, stay safe..
thanks
Another excellent job Dave! Exhaust and brake lines are my least favorite.
Mine too!
Lots and lots of WD40 or penetrating oil on those muffler hangers. They can be a PITA.
You got it handled just fine, great job!
Thanks, I like the AZ flag pic........I was in Flagstaff this afternoon
@@cheapwheels9828 cool! They should still have some snow on the ground up there.
we drove through the snow the other day...started in Tucson...and headed north
hit snow around Strawberry
@@cheapwheels9828 we have a small place in Show Low, AZ in the pines, very nice there! Our primary residence is in Lake Havasu City.
Safe travels to you & yours.
Man a few years ago I was travelling and my muffler fell off on the highway...far from home and no tools and didn't know much mechanics back then. Drove a bit got pulled over by cops threatened with ticket for excessive noise said I had to fix it. Had to go to a garage ended up costing 800 Canadian. Did I ever get ripped off eh aha. Anyways appreciate the videos 😁
Thanks
Awesome!
Thanks!
Hey dave where did you buy the tail pipe ?
Curious what you think about putting some super high heat liquid exhaust weld inside the pipe where the clamps are going on, right before tightening. Unnecessary trouble for later, or extra beneficial precaution?
don't need no stinking tail pipe lol great job Dave take it easy
LOL right on
My thoughts when I muffler deleted my first car "damn this think wont come off, but it will with this saw 😀"
If you don't weld, then you might want to make 4 longitudinal incisions in each connection under the clamp .. it's usually darn hard to squeeze the pipe .. these cutouts will help to make and keep the connection tight much better.
thanks
