Should you patch or just replace exhaust components if there's a small hole right before the muffler?

If the hole is smaller than a nickel, I would not worry about it. If the hole is on the bottom side of the exhaust pipe, it might actually be a good thing, as it would allow the water in the exhaust to drain out before it enters the muffler. Some newer cars have drain holes in the exhuast system to prevent things from rusting out quickly.

If the repair manual very casually says to begin to replace the fuelpump on a 1994 Mercury Cougar by removing the tailpipe from the muffler how do you do this wihout breaking the muffler or tailpipe?
First off I'm assuming you have the 3.8 litre V6. I have a 93 model Cougar and I'm assuming they didn't change that much. Your exhaust setup should have *2* mufflers alltogether. My best guess says that the manual means to remove the pipe from the muffler that's about in the middle of the underbody. There should be a muffler clamp right at the back of this muffler. If it looks anything like mine right now I would suggest getting a new exhaust while ur at it. Good Luck. Spyder
