Default need my exhaust welded together...!band clamps

Anyone know where i should take my car to have the exhaust welded together?

The band clamps are leaking and causing my o2's to malfunction.(mainly the drivers side because it drags so often due to the low clearance under the intermediate pipe.)


Also, how much do you guys think this would cost?

Thanks a bunch,
Jeff

I took my car to a local exhaust place to get a couple welds and my tips leveled out. They charged $10/weld IIRC.

You never want to have your exhaust welded together completely! You need to just get either some v-band flenges or three bolt flanges installed. Stop by the shop or just give us a call and we can get you fixed up.
