Have a hanging exhaust that is separated from muffler. I need a suggestion on a quick cheap easy as possible fix at least for temporarily. I’m in training for my job and I have a kid. I wish there was transportation where we live but there isn’t. ---

As someone who has been sickened by a exhaust leak that would not be something I would want your child to experience. A muffler charge of 200.00 to 300.00 is still cheaper then an Emergency Room visit. ---

I wish I did I don’t. My dad passed in 2011 & my mom lives an hour away, doesn’t drive and doesn’t get much of an income. I’m kinda screwed. ---

Had 1 estimate of over $500. That’s out of my budget. ---

I never said I was driving her around in it. I’ll end the conversation with you now. Geez ---

I used a can of beans (empty and open at both ends) and a dollop of furnace cement to fix that problem once. Worth a try if you have zero money. Of course, that was before I understood the dangers of carbon monoxide, so maybe do it right. ---

I had it taken care of for $40. Thanks! ---

Great news. Don’t mind the trolls on here. How did you fix it so cheaply? I was going to suggest shopping around, but didn’t expect $40.
