I dont know abit about cars. Can i drive around with my muffler broken off like this? Its still connected on the other end to the tailpipe
You canYou can also get fined for it, it depends on how civilized your country actually is
>>29127344I live in the caliphate of canuckistanDo i just get a mechanic to weld the broken end back on or does this need to be completely replaced
>>29127331How long have you been driving around like this? If it's more than a week, your engine's probably already fucked.
>>29127362Probably about a week exactly. Why would this fuck up the engine? Seriously asking, i know nothing
>>29127365The lack of backpressure is messing with the valve springs on your exhaust valves. Better start pricing out a new engine.
>>29127367In english, doc
Just cut the old clamp off and get another one. There like 5 bucks at any parts shop
>>29127367Boomers actually believe things like this lol
>>29127369Bad pipe make engine go fucky-wucky.Big expensive.

>>29127395If slopGPT is so smart, why didn't you just ask it instead of posting here? You know those overgrown chatbots are prone to hallucination and came here to get an informed opinion.
>>29127399Your opinion isn't informed thoughit's some retarded myth with no basis in reality
>>29127461Did slopGPT tell you that too?
>>29127461>Ask a question>get an answer>instantly start arguingyou people are the worst
>>29127468>someone asks a question>answer some made up bullshit>complain when you get told you're retardedLeave if you don't like it here
>>29127471just stick to chat gpt and spare us
>>29127461NTA, but I've been a mechanic for longer than you've been alive.Exhausts aren't just random tubing the engineers threw on there to get the exhaust gasses behind the car, every contour of it is important to manage the pressure and flow of it. Too much backpressure and the engine can't respirate properly, too little and the exhaust valves won't oscillate properly.If you keep driving your truck with the muffler like that, you will do irreparable damage to the engine.
>>29127484the exhaust pressure is a minuscule fraction of what the springs are exerting, and the cam is the one making the valve moveStop making shit up and trying to pass it as true
>>29127331that orange stuff is rustrust flakes and the dust spreads to other parts of your vehicle which cause more rusts, most of the underneath of your car is infected now
>>29127484>t. High school dropout grease monkey
