question about exhaust

    ok two days ago, i cut off my muffler, so i could weld on my fart can, i went to my buddys to get it welded on ( 150 bucks ) well his welder broke, and i got there and he couldnt do it, so i went back home, and didnt mind hearing the deeper tone that the car was producing.

that nite i went out to get some cigs, and left my wallet at home, and took my debit card, got my cheap cigs, and went home. when i got home, i walked in, and nothing seemed to be out of place, untill i went to my room, my audio system was stolen allong with three 12 inch subs, several amps, and my wallet... with two hundred bucks in it, so i went down into the basement, and they had taken a sawsall to my brand new garage door, busted in the door, and proceded to my shit.

none of my musical instruiments were touched, and more importiantly my chevelle wasnt touched.


My question is, will running around with out the muffler for a week or two on cause any harm to my self or my car?  also i was told that i was back fireing pretty bad this morning  by a fellow honda owner

If I were you, I'd probably put the old muffler in place and hold it together with a piece of flexible metal tubing and a few large hose clamps ..... should keep it quiet enough for 5-0 also.  If you need some packing to make the tube fit better, get a box of un-soapped steel wool and unroll the pads .... twist or braid the wool into a rope to wrap around the pipe.

I've done this before for a rusted inlet to the muff where the pipe rusted through and broke apart ..... held until I could afford the new muff.  Eventually, the steel wool will disintegrate, so it's not a permanent fix ..... I did it with a coat hanger and heavy-duty foil and it still worked well.

so what'd you do about the audio equipment?

Man, I feel for you! That really sucks...

At least you were gone, and didn't get shot or killed or anything...

Stupid thieves.
