You know what else would make that repair last longer? Move to a warmer climate. Good job giving her the beans with the pipe expander. Funny story, my buddy and I had our other buddies kid brother out in his van looking for a duct stretcher (think metal air duct, years ago. Poor Jimmy was out there close to a half hour before we let him in on our little prank. Good thing we didn't ask for the metric adjustable too

Eric, why dont you clean up the area before welding? I heard some other mechanic say that you should always clean the area before welding, especially the rust. Otherwise itd rust through really quickly on the welds. I dont know if its true though. Just wondering why you dont grind away the rust and contamination before welding.

I have been on overload watching all your videos, love your work! I wish more mechanics had the integrity and morals you have. I have my project cars being a 1976 Datsun 280z and a 85 Corvette but also spend lots of time with my friends 1978 Pace Car Corvette. Great videos and thanks for sharing your adventures with the world.

I use an exhaust joint sleeve that is slightly bigger than pipes available here in the UK, when you tighten it up it compresses onto the original pipe, like a scaffolding joint clamp, VW use something similar on lots of models, ,great batch of videos Eric, REGARDS MIKE

Years ago on my 78 Honda Civic, I replaced a long piece of the 1 pipe with some scrap 1 copper drain pipe. I used 45 degree elbows and soldered up the hump to go over the rear axle. lasted for years until I sold the car. Looked like a plumber did it.

2. 5 liter FB? Could it be an EJ instead?
FBs were out in 2014, my 2013 Impreza has a 2 liter FB. The largest FB I've heard of is a 2. 4 liter turbo, maybe in the Ascent. The WRX has a 2 liter turbo (FA or FB, the STI has a 2. 5 liter EJ.

It always amazes me at how versatile a general mechanic has to be, welding skills, mechanical, electrical etc. Surprisingly, the main area guys fail at are the business owner problems, which are a completely different skill set.
