I can imagine there are a million different things that are rolling through your head right now as you clicked this thread...

Anyway no its not bad I just had a quick question I was heading down through Port Jervis on 84 and something fell out of the back of a truck. Since I didn't have an out I ran it over and broke the exhaust pipe that meets at the last gasket between the muffler and the flexpipe.

I got a 5 hour drive on Tuesday to head back home for the summer from college, I'm just wondering if driving it like this will melt anything important. I'm almost positive the EGT's aren't going to be hot enough that far back to do any damage but I thought I'd get a 2nd opinion just to have a little piece of mind.

I'm most definitely going to take out the muffler part before the drive since it's certainly going to catch a pothole and that will definitely damage something, if not my car than someone else's. The other alternative I thought of was getting some heat wrap some autozone but it's so rusted I don't believe that anything will be able to hold it.

And yes, it sounds atrocious.

Here's a quick pic:

I don't see why not. There are people here who drive around with no exhaust all the time. But it's the amount of time you're driving that makes me kinda wary about it. I'd get something to cover it just to be safe.

I also see you have a quote one of our fellow members left from my thread about my flooded engine.

use wire to hold it up?
heat wraps will really not hold much...

I have no idea who you refering to, MelJ

if the car will be moving, air will be flowing under the car to cool any exhaust so it shouldnt matter

I agree, I don't think it will heat up enough to actually damage anything. If your worried go nuts with a couple tubes of JB Weld and it'll hold until you have a chance to do a proper fix.
