The exhaust pipe will need to be replaced, or, you can buy a quick-fix patch at your local auto parts store as a temporary fix. It's a treated "ribbon" about 2 or 3 inches wide that you can wrap around the exhaust pipe to cover the hole. The heat of the exhaust activates the chemicals in the "ribbon" to make it adherent. I believe the product is called a muffler repair kit.
What else can I help you with?
Can you pass emissions with a hole in your exhaust?
Generally, a hole in your exhaust system can lead to increased emissions, making it more challenging to pass an emissions test. The hole may allow exhaust gases to escape before they reach the catalytic converter, preventing it from effectively reducing harmful pollutants. Additionally, the sound and other signs of a damaged exhaust could raise flags during the inspection, potentially resulting in a failure. It's advisable to repair any exhaust issues before attempting to pass emissions.
Can you elliminate the catalytic converter from your 90 Toyota Celica?
Uh.. no. At least not if you want it to pass any emissions test. Plus, if you did, it would leave a gaping hole in your exhaust system.
Will a hole in your car's exhaust pipe cause your car to be slower?
Depends on where the hole is. Before an oxygen sensor, it may be causing your vehicle to over/under fuel itself, and in that case possibly. Close to the manifold, it may allow much cooler air to the exhaust valves and warp a valve and then the answer would be yes. Further down, say at or beyond the catalytic converter, typically the answer would be no.

You just installed a brand new muffler and you still hear a loud exhaust noise and rattly noise Could this be due to having no catalytic converter on a 95 sentra?
The rattle might be a loose heat shield but the loud exhaust can only be a hole somewhere. start at the manifold an work your way back listening and feeling for leaks.

91 beretta and you are have the problem thhat it runs fine till you go up hill or at 35mph and above when you shift it sounds like it is backfiring and loss of power on hills?
It sounds like the inside of your catalytic converter has come apart, and as exhaust flow increases, it pushes the pieces up against the hole in the back of the converter and chokes off your exhaust. Limp the car to a muffler shop and have them test your cat converters, replace as necessary.
Where is the oxygen sensor located on a 1996 Geo Tracker?
HI, You have the one at the rear of the exhaust manifold, it's in a hole, you can't miss it, it's better to remove it when the manifold is warm and make sure you have the thread grease on before you put it in. When you buy it ask for the stuff for the threads, they'll know what you need it's real important to use it. The other is down in the exhaust pipe right by the catalytic converter and that gets plugged in through a grommet in the floor. Good luck and have fun. Steve H.
