Not every broken exhaust pipe needs to be replaced, at least not immediately. This is especially true if you have a sudden break and you need to make an urgent repair. Fortunately, exhaust adapters and exhaust connectors from Nickson, Walker® and MagnaFlow will help you get the job done and for a fraction of the cost of replacing a broken pipe.

What does the exhaust system do?
Exhaust systems play an important role in carrying noxious gases away from the internal combustion engine and out through the tailpipe where those gases are dispersed in the atmosphere. The exhaust is also a popular modification to performance cars, or just getting that perfect exhaust note. Over time, exhaust pipes can break, though. When this occurs, a connection must be made. This is where an exhaust adapter or connector comes in.
Where do you make the connection?
Wherever the break occurs. The best case scenario is a break in the middle of the pipe, where you can easily connect piping of the same circumference. But should the break occur at a flange, you can still make a connection that will last.
