    I've got a small "blowout" on my driver's side muffler (05 GP GT). The drone is just awful on the highway and in low rpm's in general, so as a short term fix (1-2 weeks max) would JB Weld suffice? It's a small "flap" blow out on the top of the muffler that I can feel and cover with my hand, I'll drop it off the hangers tomorrow for a better look. Edit: Or that exhaust wrap stuff auto parts stores sell, it only needs to last until I get a new muffler so the drone doesn't give me a headache.

    Once I have the cash I'll order a new muffler and have a shop weld it on place. We have a MIG setup at school (2 year trade school) but I don't feel I have enough experience to lay a bead that will last and not form more leaks.

    Also, any recommendations for mufflers? Looking for anything quiet or close to stock since our 3.8's generally sound like garbage, maybe Borla?

    For thine is the Cam, The Piston, and The Rod, Forever and ever (or until they break). Amen.
