What kind of adhesive should be used for exhaust pipe leaks?
1 Answers
When there is a leak in the exhaust pipe, simply using adhesive for repair is not feasible. After all, the temperature of the exhaust pipe is quite high, which reduces the adhesive's bonding capability. Over time, leaks may still occur. Here are some relevant details: 1. Location: The impact of an exhaust pipe leak depends on its specific location. If the leak is at the tail end, it may not have any effect. 2. Weak acceleration: If the leak is at the front section, it can lead to a decrease in exhaust back pressure, resulting in reduced torque at low speeds and weaker acceleration, indirectly increasing fuel consumption. However, at high speeds, the exhaust flow becomes smoother, potentially improving power. Exhaust pipe leaks have a greater impact on turbocharged models and a lesser effect on naturally aspirated engines.
