Wait

2017-07-24 23:41:58 UTC  

Does your Malibus exhaust system have a mid-pipe section or is it just in two pieces?

2017-07-24 23:42:08 UTC  

Typically most exhaust come in threes.

2017-07-24 23:42:15 UTC  

Headers, mid, and muffler

2017-07-24 23:42:51 UTC  

oh damn, from the engine the manifold has the cat attached to it then it has a flange that I can seperate it from the muffler

2017-07-24 23:43:08 UTC  

just 1 cat. 4 cyclinder

2017-07-24 23:43:48 UTC  

Ah Chevys

2017-07-24 23:44:18 UTC  

yeah this thing was made during the years they cut every corner to save money to save the company

2017-07-24 23:45:12 UTC  

I would honestly recomend trying to hunt down an impact wrench fore sure. That doesn't mean give up on trying to get it yourself, however.

2017-07-24 23:45:26 UTC  

yeah that's what I was thinking too.

2017-07-24 23:45:38 UTC  

there's just not enough room to work

2017-07-24 23:45:53 UTC  

Be extremely careful if you're going to keep trying to unstick that bolt.

2017-07-24 23:46:07 UTC  

worn bolts can sheer, and then you're in some trouble.

2017-07-24 23:47:18 UTC  

for sure, I was going to drill it out and then just retap it, but I cant get enough force behind a drill to even make a dent.

2017-07-24 23:48:11 UTC  

My end goal is to pull out my cat and knock out the honeycomb and then reinstall it. haha

I found you a reconditioned impact wrench through Milwaukee. You probably wouldn't have a ton of use for a brand new one and I'm sure you don't have a spare $200-$400 laying around. I would keep this tab open just in case all other attempts fail.

2017-07-24 23:48:58 UTC  

You mean the honey comb filter or the clog?

2017-07-24 23:51:40 UTC  

I'm assume that honeycomb is clogged. I've had a misfire for years now, and I assumed the cabon clogged the honeycomb. It's throwing a P0420 code.

2017-07-24 23:52:30 UTC  

I would recomend that you clean it rather than get rid of it. I know some cars are pretty stingy with their exhaust systems.

2017-07-24 23:53:40 UTC  

@Yuma County yeah happens between 20-25 seconds no matter what

2017-07-24 23:55:52 UTC  

@Mark Vandal that would rule out lifters and major engine components at least.

2017-07-24 23:56:42 UTC  

Really? We don't have emission checks here, so I figured I'd just bust it out. But I'll try to clean it first, and if that doesn't work I'll try busting it out. I'm pretty lucky that a new one only costs $455. So things could be worse haah

2017-07-24 23:58:14 UTC  

It has more to do with your cars ECU and not emissions. When I took my mid-pipe and muffler off I drove that old pick up straight piped for a week. The truck's ECU didn't know what the fuck to do and retarded the engine to compinsate there being zero back pressure.

2017-07-24 23:58:46 UTC  

Unless you know for sure the filter wouldn't fuck up your ECU, I would just go with cleaning it.

2017-07-25 00:09:09 UTC  

oh right on, I didn't think of that. But you do this stuff everyday, I appreciate you bro

2017-07-25 00:09:52 UTC  

Keep trying on that bolt my friend, if you have an extra $100 lying around some time I would highly recomend that impact wrench.

2017-07-25 00:10:14 UTC  

I do, I probably going to order it.

2017-07-25 00:10:38 UTC  

I saved up a grand thinking a new cat would cost around that price. so I'm doing ok ahah

2017-07-25 00:10:58 UTC  

They're pretty nifty tools to have. Instead of struggling for hours on a stuck bolt, you can just Shoah it right off.

2017-07-25 00:11:05 UTC  

And then shoah it right back on too

2017-07-25 00:11:22 UTC  

I usually keep one handy if something's giving me issues.

2017-07-25 00:14:21 UTC  

yeah I need one, now my car is 11 years old and it's starting to have age problems. But as much as I hate this car I'll give it respect, this is the first major issue with it in 11 years. I had a vent canister solenoid go out, but nothing major. So an impact would be an useful tool have around.

2017-07-25 00:15:01 UTC  

>you can over torque bolts to commie cars to round them out so the wheels can no longer come off

2017-07-25 00:15:08 UTC  

don't ask me how I know that.

2017-07-25 00:19:59 UTC  

yeah for sure. I had a buddy do that years ago when we first started driving. He was so worried that his wheel was going to come off he cranked them down, and the next flat he got he was screwed

2017-07-25 00:20:15 UTC  

kek

2017-07-25 00:20:20 UTC  

been there, done that

2017-07-25 00:20:24 UTC  

gotta learn somehow

2017-07-25 00:40:37 UTC  

Anyone have any experience with rotary motors?!?

2017-07-25 01:02:15 UTC  

You're the one with the 80s RX7, right? @Whitelash

2017-07-25 01:03:03 UTC  

Yes sir
