He wants me take a look at his exhaust because it dosen´t sounds right.

So I took a look under.

The flexible exhaust tube at the catalysator is broken.

So instead of get a new catalysator so did I got a new tube.

So I have to cut off the old one.

And match the new one.

And do some welding work.

And there we go.

So now I have another happy customer.

Jocke,

you do it all - Great photography, watch refurbishing, cyclops removal, bathroom remodeling and auto repair. Is there anything you do not do?

Wow, nice save. I once had a car that needed an entire catalytic converter replacement due to the flex piece. It was a pretty rare car so the part was a fortune, and no junkyard parts were available.

I know now that in the US, these flex piece replacement kits/jobs are commonplace, but at the time it wasn't a well-known option.

Honesty - Great stuff

mickeydainish · 25 July 2008, 10:29 AM

very nice Jocke.... nice to see quality workmanship... always!! :-)

Lol-x · 25 July 2008, 10:33 AM

I think the engine sounds better if you remove the cyclops

You could always weld a Rolex into the dashboard, that would fix anything wrong with a car, I know the customer would be happy

Good going

Jocke, you're a good guy.

Believe it or not, the same thing happened to my old car a few years ago, and the mechanics who service our cars did about the same. I was a very happy camper!

Jocke · 27 July 2008, 03:34 AM

Thank you all for the kind words.
