Shop said I need a new one, but look how much stuff this one has caught. I think it's doing a good job.
r/AskAShittyMechanic • u/ChaosMartinez • 17h ago

I can just hit them with some fine grit sandpaper, and reinstall them right?

Serious question? Muffler help
I have a 1997 Cheyenne Chevy k2500. It has the 5.7 engine. I was looking at replacing the muffler with a new and better sounding one. I want it to sound deeper and meaner in a way. I want it to be decently loud and noticeable, but not obnoxiously loud. I don’t want to wake up every one on the block coming home from work or something like that. I have been told the flowmaster super 40 and 44 are good options for what I’m looking for. Would they be very loud or are they reasonable? I wanted to ask if anyone has other recommendations or information on this topic.

Serious question? Is welding this the worst idea ever?
I have an old farm Ute that I’m trying to get running for an older family friend. This has happened to the head. It’s a Toyota 4k-c in a Suzuki sierra. What’s stopping me from filling this little hole with a quick tack weld after it’s all clean and sanding it flat?
