Exhaust problem Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting raman53 Novice Jul 4, 2007, 10:29 PM Post #1 of 4 (1258 views) Exhaust problem Sign In The front engine pipe gasket of my 99 Corolla is cracked. The Toyota dealer had given an estimate of $290 a while ago without giving a breakup of parts & labor. Direct Tire people gave an estimate of $135. I would prefer to take it to the dealer, but it's almost double. Is it safe to take it to Direct Tire (or any other service station)? If so, what should I be wary of? Thanks.

Without seeing what the exact problem is any decent tech should be able to do a responsible job so I would go for the best value for you, T raman53 Novice Jul 9, 2007, 7:44 AM Post #3 of 4 (1242 views) Re: Exhaust problem Sign In Thanks; I plan to go with Direct Tire. Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 9, 2007, 10:33 AM Post #4 of 4 (1240 views) Re: Exhaust problem Sign In I believe your exhaust that is vulnerable is the rear portion which will come in one peice pre-made and is available aftermarket which is fine. I would go for the price. What I don't like is when muffler shops make their own stuff and weld it all up such that individual parts would be very troublesome to replace later or impossible with the mig welders and other equipment I couldn't profit from owning so I just buy exact pre-made parts for whatever vehicle as needed. It's makes sense for you to go for the bargain, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
