More often than not, the section that the donut slides over would be badly pitted from corrosion. In many forums people recommend Ultra-Copper RTV. Though it is labeled as being oxygen-sensor safe, I'm wondering if a safer and more reliable solution would be to filling out the pitting with high temperature steel-epoxy then sanding it down. Some swear by Versachem Crack Sealer, which is ceramic based, for this task.
great video, for me you missed a real important part though, the foot pounds on the bolts...?will it vary by car and location? my guess would be 30-40 ft.ib
Great video. I like the amount of detail that you provide. I have an exhaust leak for my 2015 chevy silverado. Do you have any pointers or advice that I would find helpful or useful before I get underneath there?
It was a stupid video, they didn't even show how to fit the gasket on or how pipes fit together, PLUS, no washers, bolts too short, no anti-seize compound, NOT suppose to use silicone on exhaust connections because it destroys O2 sensors and to top it off he uses Hardware Hank cheap junk hardware that will break in two weeks.
In many exhaust systems the flex Donut gasket connection is BEFORE the catalytic converter, making it BEFORE the downstream 02 sensor, so you can definitely damage your 02 sensor if you glob the silicone right before the sensor.
@@icur Some silicone compounds, like Ultra Copper, say "oxygen sensor safe" on the packaging. I would think that they would be safe for such use as in the video.
I discovered my squeaking noise coming from underneath is at this point. Sprayed some silicone grease on it and it went away. But returned days later since the heat from the exhaust pipe would dry that up of course. I've checked and the bolts are as tight as you can get them. Although I'm not hearing any exhaust leaks. Would replacing the exhaust ring solve the problem anyway?
To add some clarity....as you didn't show it....the final installation should have the springs be NOT fully compressed...there should be a little air-space between each coil of the coil spring.
@@TheBlacktom I’m kinda late here but it seems to depend on which exact one. On the same website and the same brand of gasket I’ve seen from a couple of dollars to like 50 dollars.

Hi, i had it on my montero and figure it out its getting a noise when the engine got to aircon in full. Is it with Bolt Spring not enough to that make noise?
I have a Corolla with a rusty exhaust donut but isn't too loud. I've ordered a new exhaust donuts and bolts and will get changed next year. I think Japanese cars only use them.
why in the world is it so difficult to find how much you are supposed to tighten the spring bolts? I'm. assuming bottoming them out is completely redundant
I think this is what I need for my 97 legacy outback, the spring bolts are completely rusted and I see no springs... the flange is wide open and It’s leaking. Everything is rusted and I think the donut deteriorated or something I don’t see that either lol it’s terrible
guess you didnt really listen. yes, they are there for a reason. you could get by temporarily BUT you will break it eventually without the spring loaded bolts.
I've been working on my 74 f100 360 and I've worked on old cars/ trucks all my life and never had as much trouble as this one. Even smashed my finger almost off. Can't seem to get it on
Smashed your finger almost off LMAO has me cracking up in bed right now. Just thinking how many times a smashed my shit while wrenching and thinking it was gonna die and fall off....
Update luckily it wasn't rusted I live in Arizona so.. On a Mazda six second GEN it's a defect that it can cause squeaking they actually have a grease on the donut to stop it so when that stuff wears off it will Make squeaking noises again .. Pretty ridiculously stupid design what do you want from Ford... I'm about to replace it again it's been three years it's doing the same noise again
The editing of this video is indescribable.
You weren't joking. It was so bad I don't think you could even try to replicate the style of you were trying.
I thought I was trippin' or a second hahaha

Bravo! This video accurately depicts what it feels like when you inhale too much engine exhaust. Genius!
it was a good enough video, but the looping was making my brain glitch
Great video and thanks for taking the extra time to show how to carefully take off the existing rusty bolts so not to break them!
I learned alot. And keep in mind, don't leave excessive lube on your nuts. Your tool cold slip off. Lol.
Great work and outstanding vocabulary, Sir! Looking forward to taking a stab at this project. Thanks for the excellent instructions.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! THIS HELPED - AND I SAVED A LOT OF MONEY!
very clear and informative- thanks!

Thanks for the great advice.
im waaaayy to high for that loop....

Those are the easiest exhaust bolts ive ever seen to come off lol
Yeah, this a**hole is acting as if he can outsmart the removal of every rusty fastener.
Yeah, as soon as I saw that first nut loosen I knew this video was from the Land of Make Believe. :-)
I think it was the 13 times that he oiled his nuts.
Hehe once I broke mine loose they came off with my fingers on my 96 outback, of course it has plenty of time release auto chassis lube

The silicone is down stream from the 02...the way the exhaust flows, it shouldn't bother it
In many exhaust systems the flex Donut gasket connection is BEFORE the catalytic converter, making it BEFORE the downstream 02 sensor, so you can definitely damage your 02 sensor if you glob the silicone right before the sensor.
You are too critical.......good zooming in and out so you see the converter and bolts up close. I just paid $160 for the job.
@@icur Some silicone compounds, like Ultra Copper, say "oxygen sensor safe" on the packaging. I would think that they would be safe for such use as in the video.
Thanks for explaining why a spring bolt should be used.
excelent work, very good teaching

informative video, this one is the only one i found that shows how to remove the old gasket from the pipe. Thank you
Same way you remove it you can install it back
You should wipe that oil off. You don't want the tool...to slip on the nut. Thanks - Lumpy
To add some clarity....as you didn't show it....the final installation should have the springs be NOT fully compressed...there should be a little air-space between each coil of the coil spring.
Great instructional video. Thank you, I almost paid $50 for some one to to replace it. I just bought the donut gasket for $24 and did it myself
Hm, wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I'm ordering one for just above $1. Seen it around $2 in many places online.

Excellent for DIYers. Ignore the comments from shops who want to charge you for an entire new exhaust system when all you need is a simple gasket.
Yes it's very cheap amzn.to/2SVrI2u
Do you absolutely need power tools for this or can I break the gasket off without an air hammer and loosen the bolts without a powered driver?
That was incredible 😂
Hi, i had it on my montero and figure it out its getting a noise when the engine got to aircon in full. Is it with Bolt Spring not enough to that make noise?
Amused. I’ve literally heard the word “nut” more times in this video than I have in the last month alone. Lemme tell you. That’s an achievement.
do you have a video for Lexus rx350 front Y exhaust pipe gasket replacement?
What infant did the film editing for this?
Great video though, besides the loops and zooming✊🏾
I have a Corolla with a rusty exhaust donut but isn't too loud. I've ordered a new exhaust donuts and bolts and will get changed next year. I think Japanese cars only use them.
Thank you Rusty Joe.
if the flange is bad or loose will the engine sound louder?
what's with the looping?
nut
Am I crazy or is he saying stuff like 3 times
very good. thanks
It’s 2022! Do they make a bolt and nut that can handle the high heat and won’t rust
Does the heat help remove the nut?
Can you add somewhere in your videos what car you are working on
why in the world is it so difficult to find how much you are supposed to tighten the spring bolts? I'm. assuming bottoming them out is completely redundant
I've got some high temp gasket maker. Could I use that instead of silicone?
Yes, it's just to hold it in place.
Where do I get those spring bolts ?
Is this car an Integra? I ask cause this is the job I gotta do. The pipe is down the center not split like a v8
To the point, thank you
It’s like watching an episode of this old house.
any way to remove the donut sleeve bob?
That was trippy.
What the spring bolt work ?
Is that what's known as exhaust manifold to pipe gasket?
I think this is what I need for my 97 legacy outback, the spring bolts are completely rusted and I see no springs... the flange is wide open and It’s leaking. Everything is rusted and I think the donut deteriorated or something I don’t see that either lol it’s terrible
I need to replace doughnut between the exhaust manifold to pipe.are those spring bolts I need?
guess you didnt really listen. yes, they are there for a reason. you could get by temporarily BUT you will break it eventually without the spring loaded bolts.
My head felt like I was gltiching on the repeating lines LOL
You don't see that every day, really really lucky and the bolt and nut are not that rusted to start with !
soak them overnight with p.b. blaster or a oil covered rag! thanks for the vid!
You mean the new gasket or the stuck bolts?
@@TheBlacktom the bolts ,.....but fuck it soak everything!
Feel like I'm watching the Groundhog Day movie.
I was really hoping at the very end they would show the beginning one more time...
perhaps use some anti-seize as well
I went into a h3h3 trance watching this.
Did he use Hi-temp anti-seize? You should.
How much would it cost for a mechanic to replace front pipe gasket and bolts?(very rusty)
a mechanic will soak you for 150 to install new gasket and bolts
Can I install the new gasket without requiring silicone or adhesive? Thanks.
Actually, If you have an O2 sensor after the flange, you should not use any silicone stuff, as it will deteriorate your cat and/or O2 sensor.
I NEED that wrench!!!
thanks bob
damn the heat resistant silicon thats the key, i cussed so much with mine moving and dropping out!! thanks
I have heard that silicone will poison the sensors.
What size is the gasket
Everything I have read,says don't use any type of silicone on the exhaust side of the system. It will ruin your convertor.
But then the customer won't bring the car back for a new converter and the mechanic will miss out on the extra profit.
General rule is not to use anything in front of the cat (s) unless it`s approved for the purpose.
First step is safety glasses whenever using pen oil and rust.
And whenever you're under a vehicle, looking up.
My bolts broke how can I get them out if they are rusted on there?
Your gonna have to drill them out goddess
I've been working on my 74 f100 360 and I've worked on old cars/ trucks all my life and never had as much trouble as this one. Even smashed my finger almost off. Can't seem to get it on

How much cost to do this at exhaust shop if I supply the gaskets?
How does that usually cost
do it without a lift and in a parking lot
Lol

This reminds me of a Neature Walk video.
i uh
i feel like im being slapped around like a cat toy while watching this
The spring on my bolts never compress all the way what am I doing wrong
Nothing....they shouldn't compress all the way, .....that's why they are there.
This only happens in the an alternate universe LOL!
No washers?
How tou do this on a 2014 grand cherokee?
NVM, gotta take both sides too to pull the rear exhaust back a little bit.
What kind of penetrating oil is that!!
Well, that was an easy one. I trade ya jobs.
Lol that was a funny spoof video
The editor really wanted to drive home the point of oiling your nuts. A lot.
Is this the remix?
Pull up!!
I thought an agent was on its way. lol Good video though.
