    The Civic has been a loud girl since the day I purchased her. Once I found the problem I decided to try muffler / exhaust pipe tape to see if I could sneak a repair past with a jury rigged solution. Did it work?
    I use the Tiger Tape brand i found at an Auto Zone for about $5.00 USD.

    This stuff made a world of difference on my 97 Accord... Until the resonator pipe completely rusted apart, ripped the tape, and fell off lol

    Notice that no one shows a muffler repair where the pipe joins the muffler, likely the most common point of failure? I watched a video w/ a guy trying using both tape and putty. He eventually gave up and bought a muffler.

    As Long As it Don't Cause Drivability Issues Like Mine Getting Misfires On Cylinders 2 & 4 & Giving You Rich & Lean Code Warnings I Guess If You Can Deal with The Noise its Fine...Mine Is Leaking Between the EGR tube Connection & The Bell Connection On My Drivers Side Exhaust Manifold 😟

    Should try this on the old truck.
    FYI those cans are lined with plastic.

    I bought that same exact tiger patch (there are many variations) and used a Coke can over my hole. When I went to peel the backings on both sides of the wrap,. I was expecting to be a little tacky or sticky. Mine was not sticky at all while leaving it out in the sun on a 65 degree day.
    Do you remember if yours was a sticky product? Maybe I got a defective batch.

    • @ktecgarage

      No. It wasn't very sticky at all. I'm guessing once the pipe heats up it activates the adhesive. Mine has not unwrapped since I installed it.

      @@ktecgarage Thank you. I guess I will use a heat gun and get it a bit pliable. I got it on sale so don't really want to return it. Hopefully it bonds to my pipe as yours did. Thanks again.

      It used to be super sticky before you installed it. They must have changed the way they make it. It doesn't work as well and you have to put a clamp over it till it heats up enough to stick. The old one was awesome. New one not so much. I can't find the really sticky ones anymore.

    Waste of time and money. Could have just used some beer cans and metal zip ties. If you wanted to do it perfect, just add a little JB Weld high temperature epoxy with the cut cans and it will never let you down or even leak.
    Spend about $11 and it's a permanent fix or about $0 and it's a permanent fix with a slight exhaust leak 😂

      I did. I mentioned kind of fast that I had already removed it. Sorry if it was confusing.
