My ebay redneck exhaust system

[Pier-Luc Tremblay]

When I bought my speed 3, the downpipe was totally cooked, like pretty much inexistant when i remove it, it came in two pieces, anyway. I though the ebay downpipe was a quick cheap fix for now cause ill keep the money for a full exhaust kit at some point.

As you can see here the ebay downpipe on the left doesnt have that kind of tapered flange where you can put a donut gasket, its just a flat gasket and it leaks. Does anybody knows how to fix that. Is it an easy fix that i should know, cause i can't find information anywhere

You probably need the test pipe from the same manufacturer so that you have matching flange styles

Yeah the test pipe could be a solution but the thing is, that I didn't mention
This is what the rest of the exhaust looks like they did some redneck shit there

Then you need to change the flange on one of the exhaust pieces

Sounds like a good idea yea

Looks like a flat flange repair kit might do the trick

It's honestly not that bad though how did you get it out in one piece?

I removed absolutely everything on the car, ive sanded and painted every little surface corrosion or any scratch or wtv under it, in the engine bay, even under the carpets

If you have done all of that why not just get a new exhaust? That one with no muffler resonator or cats is going to sound terrible

Cause like i said in the post i dont have that kind of money for now unfortunately, just spent around 5000 for a rebuilt (which I haven't started assembling yet)
and i drove this exhaust for a while before the engine blew, it's not a great sound like a full corksport kit would do but i wouldn't say it was "Horrible" i hear civic everyday that are way worse haha
