Saved by the new guy..

Vortex exaust pipe between the exaust brake and the cat cracked off

Happens about five years ago. High heat and salt air kill the crappy metal.

I was making calls left and right trying to find a welder and parts while the whole time my new guy was taking care of it all...

Fookkkk! Thats a lot of corrosion!
Looks like it came from Canada with all the salt damage.

 

[Mikey P]

it like a corn flake coating too...most can be knocked off...

There are heat-activated epoxy tapes that make a good field repair.

Any hardware store.

I'm blessed to have so many great welders and fabricators close by.

There are advantages to major oil leaks after all! No rust!

After repair photo?

Nice weld, next concern is that bracket/hanger. That thing looks pretty close to going.

 

[Mikey P]

It's not.
