Best Answer

depends on whether the exhaust is blowing from the top or the the bottom of the the exhaust, if from the top you will need an exhast bandage which might fix the problem, if under neath use exhaust putty such as gun gum , if the muffler rattles when you rev the engine,sorry but you will have to buy a new one this is not repairable.
