the exhaust in my maxima is falling apart, 14 years and 126,000 miles will do that i suppose, so i picked up a used exhaust, including everything from the y-pipe back.....the pipes are in good shape, but the flanges are a little rusty. if i sand down the flanges, can i spray some of that high temp paint on it to help protect it from rusting out? could i use por 15 on the exhaust? this is a dd so i just wanna try to protect the exhaust from rusting out as much as i can. any advice/knowledge is appreciated, thanks

Any high heat ceramic paint should be okay.

I bought some for the formy yesterday..yes, you can use any high temp paint in a multitude of colors...why'd you buy a used exhaust when mineke can do one for you for under 200buks or you could get a pacesetter type unit for that price?

cool, thanks guys


and dave my whole exhaust was rotted, muffler and everything so i upgraded w this "performance exhaust. this y pipe alone is $200 new and an oem muffler is $100 new, so i got both used and everything inbetween the two for cheap, so i figured why not

I can attest to the fact that his exhaust is falling off the car.

Like they said, anything high in ceramic and you're golden, but you'll have to keep up on it regularly. Winters are brutal on exhaust here. Its an endless fight.

Dont Por-15 make a exhaust paint?

One piece of advice is make sure its clean and degrease before you paint.

Um...no POR 15 on exhaust or I could die??? um...i did end up overspraying it on my exhaust when I did the Vue :blink:

I didn't intentionally get it there on purpose though, here you go Matt...

If I could get my exhaust done for $200 at a Meineke, i'd prolly of done it by now!!

Even if I brought in the muffler I wanted, shops out here would still charge more than that.
I had cat back done on my 89 Escort about 10 years ago at a Cole Muffler, and it was $250 then!!!

Doing it myself, and getting just the parts new breaks down to this,(for the SL)

$220 manifold back, includes flex pipe, and catalytic converter
$74 for resonator and pipe to muffler
$57 magnaflow stainless muffler(could opt for either a $30 stock, or another $30 cherry bomb, but they rot out too quick)

I'm trying to at least find a decent used middle part, universal cat(new of course) would cut costs too getting seperate, hoped not to go over $200 on my exhaust bill.
