How to Patch an Exhaust Pipe
If you just noticed a sudden increase in volume from your cars exhaust, you probably have had a hole rust through or puncture your exhaust pipe. This hole will affect your vehicles emissions and also continue to make your exhaust louder than usual. The best way to fix this hole is to replace the broken part, but if you need a quick fix a muffler patch is a great temporary solution.

Locate the hole in your exhaust system. If it is not readily visible turn the car on and try looking for the vapor escaping or tracing the louder noise.
2Purchase a muffler hole repair kit at your local automotive store.
3Turn off the car and jack it up if necessary to reach the hole.
4Wrap the muffler tape around the muffler or hole completely and cover the hole totally with several layers of the tape. The tape is self adhesive usually or is activated by the mufflers heat and will keep itself on securely.
