I drove out of work parking lot and huge exhaust leak from that same joint on my Subaru Tribeca. Perfect video for me to learn how to complete task myself. Thank you big time.
Nice you cleaned up those bolts for the customer. Some people wont even bother with something like that.
The spring bolts should never be tightened so fully compressed like that. There should be some gap between the coils just as the video shows before being removed. The springs are there to allow that joint to absorb the stress in the system and flex. When the springs are tightened down like that, flange welds and other parts of the exhaust have to absorb the stress and will end up failing pre-maturely.
I don’t comment to often on here, your video deserves it.
Great video sir. Clear and concise, just the perfect amount of information to walk away and feel it’s going to be very helpful.
Keep em’ coming my friend !! 😎
Sure would be nice if my exhaust bolts looked like that. Hardly can tell there were ever bolts there, just spikes of rust! But that's what grinders were made for, I suppose.
Warranty labor times never account for that.
Very thorough job. Can't find a lot of mechanics like that anymore. Great video
Geez man you did a great job in this video. One of the best DIY auto vids I have seen. if you dedicated yourself to making car repair vids you will rival chris fix or scotty kilmer.
Good video with useful tips. I was driving around today, and the gasket suddenly gave out. Ear pain getting home.
Great video sure did make the exhaust bolts break easy mine didn't want to turn loose without cutting
I said the same thing, never seen exhaust bolts ever come off that easy
Holy crap that was easy, I’ll do it my damn self. That’s where it sounds like it’s coming from too on my corolla! 😁
Assuming the nuts come off easily and you have your own hoist and there iss't some other rotted part that collapses as soon as you touch it...
Thank you! My '09 Altima has started a little noise and some smell inside the cabin when idling. I'm going under tomorrow to check this out.
catalytic converter one problem i have 10
So helpful thank you! Love that their tire light is also on. Mine always stays on now. Love my Tribeca tho!
You can also have someone plug the exhaust and the gasses will make more noise coming out.
Potato gun from hell. Fire in the hole 🤪
That's a stupid gasket design. I replaced one on a 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais 5.0 V8 and it was ceramic. Subaru needs to make ceramic exhaust gaskets (exhaust donuts). That gaskets going melt out of there being made of lead and right behind catalytic converter!😂
Never heard of them being made out of lead. I thought they were all made out of Graphite.
If you have a smoke generator you can use that. Engine off. Put the hose in the tailpipe and stuff rags around it to somewhat seal it. Look for smoke. Don't forget to remove hose before starting engine. You may need to plug the muffler weep hole temporarily.
The springs are not supposed to touch like that. That joint has to move. Too tight.
Thanks, you made this job look clear and simple. Hopefully I will have the same results.
you re the man! i only hear a "frrr" noise under hard acceleration and going uphill and I think it might be a gasket leak just like this one. Do you think it is possible?
NICE! Just what I was looking for.
The DONUTS look like a Ceramic composition. Not LEAD. Outlawed years ago, exc. for battery posts and pesky domestic mfrs.battery cables. IMPORTS have better made batterycable connections.
I’m no mechanic but if I we’re doing this job on my own car then I would have splurged and spent a few extra pennies for a couple of high grade nuts and bolts. But that’s just me.
The reason I cleaned up the old ones is because they have a shoulder for the springs to ride on. Dealerships would carry them- but I didn't want to wait overnight. If my memory serves me correctly.
If all repairs were that easy, I live in southern Quebec,Canada and because of the salt used during winter cars get rust up and exhaust repairs aren’t easy at all but good video though.
Did you notice any power loss from this leak?
Where did the old Gasket go? 😮
Well if you have a similar vanished lead gasket again maybe it would be best to find a ceramic one of similar sizes or use ceramic exhaust wrap and get the shape of the replacement looking like the lead gasket, maybe use some fold and wrap and unfolded and wrap then silicone glue to tack the end of the exhaust wrap to hold in place. Then bolt the flanges back togather.
OMG YOUR AN AMAZING AT DIAGNOISING!!!.....DUH!!!!!!!...The Whole World Needs You!!!
this is really great, I have a 2009 subaru forester that this has just started happening with this is very helpful. I will crack it open saturday
Now that is a real helpfull video! Thanks a lot! :D
Why not use soapy water? There will be bubbles where air is escaping.
Great vid, just wondering how did that thing come off there in the first place
That thing is like styrofoam and falls apart thru time
I have the exhaust flange of my Honda that does not come off (I removed bolts etc) what can I do? It's not rust the exhaust..
Nicely done. Thanks!!
Excellent video and nicely explained thanks
good job, easily explained
How much does this repair run in your shop?
I am replacing an intermediate pipe from the second cat converter on my 05 GMC Canyon 4 By 4 crew cab . It has a spherical type flange connection with the raised ball on the converter and the female groove on the Intermediate pipe flange! I just wire brushed the raised part and put some anti seize on it ! I left it slightly loose. Until I had muffler hung and supported then tightened it up good! I used good Dorman rust resistant bolts . Should I break the connection apart and put some sealer on the ball or is there a gasket I am missing ? It has small leak but not sure if it will seal up !.
I had an R/C plane exactly like the one hanging in your garage. :-)
Why not lightly sand the area and add a little lube to give it a better chance for a solid long term seal? Is that not idea in this case?
The question is why do they have Springs On the screws , dont evetually need to release air through that seal?? Or should be okay air coming out at any time?? Thanks
My accord only asked for circle gasket, wasnt enough, I bought a gasket that is place in between the metal but doesnt call for it only in the front of flex pipe & were the same size so I put it in the start of the catback & exhaust leak fixed
If only I had a lift
My 07 camry is making an air noise every time I accelerate, I just put a gasket in it but it’s still making an air noise idk what it is. If u have any tips on what it might be, it’s highly appreciated! Thanks
I bought a new gasket for our Subaru and installed. Still having the leak. Were you able to fix your car? Any tips?
Hi what size and brand exhaust flange used in the video
Well that was too easy for this Subaru but . How about a Cadillac DEVILLE 2001 . Any videos
Awesome tips very thorough inspection thanks!
How did that happen to begin with?
What should I do if the gasket is stick to the exhaust pipe? I tried to remove it but is not coming out
my join and springs look completely different.. Guess I've done something wrong.
I hope this works for me.it’s been driving me crazy lol
Why not just jb weld it and be done with it...
Is the flange wrapped? If so try C Flange Bracket.
Is it correct to tight the bolt that totally compress the spring ?
Good question. I was wanting to know the same thing lol
thank you tons
This is exactly what's wrong with my car no gasket donut. Took it to a mechanic and they didn't even fix it just put a couple hangers. 😣
I love this video right happen to mines
Thanks
How much was that gasket
Bought mine for 20 from napa
thanks
If the gasket is loose can it make a bank 1 Bank 2 too lean
You are correct, it cannot make the motor lean. But what it can do is Trick the O2 sensor into thinking the motor is lean and then throwing a code because of it. Because now it is an irregular amount of unburnt are going through the exhaust and throwing off the air fuel ratio that the O2 sensors are reading
Thank you so much and have a good night
One more question even though it's on the passenger side it can still fool the driver side
@@keanureeves757 I think in some cases that it can. If both exhaust merge into a single exhaust with an O2 sensor Downstream, it could very well trick the wrong side of the motor. And you have yourself a great night as well!
a 6 point is twice as likely to strip as 12.
I would never sand the thread of a screw. Use a die.
