My Camry's muffler has rusted and has a hole in it :(.

Allthough this needs replacing the car actually sounds quite beefy at the moment and I am relatively poor at present so it sucks I have to buy a new one.

Do you think I should book it in to get a new one fitted imeediately or think it will be ok to keep driving until it gets so loud I have no choice but to replace it?

Got one in rear of the muffler about 1cm in diameter and the bottom of the muffler is hard to tell due to the rust. May have several holes.

I know what a spanner is :( . A mate has just said he'll fit one for me if I want. He also said though if it was him he'd leave it for a bit as it sounds "tuff".

Just becarefull the baffle inside the muffler casing dont drop mate as it happened to me once and caused a total air blockage, I had to partly unbolt the engine header pipe to get it home. DOing that and having to drive home was so embarassing as it sounded like a truck.. This was my old mitsibishi starwagon,, not the ford ;)


anyway you should get a reasonable secondhand muffler for $30-$60 at a wreckers(depends if you remove it yourself or they remove it, even less you if get one off someone wrecking one privatly.

Its the transport dept inspection teams that do random surpise roadside inspectons mostly and can do more damage at picking faults with cars than the police.. SOme states they sit around the corner from your house and wait till you take off on the public road to pull you over.

Cans just melt from the heat of the exhaust,, muffler bandages reinforced with wire do work but it sound like this muffler is beyond that lol

To defect a vehical here they usually just pull over hotted up car's, import's or bombs. I'm pretty safe in my standard family sedan unless they pulled up right next to me or I was very unlucky. Probally going to fix it asap anyway (allthough it does sound pretty cool at the moment :D).
