Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
He didn't want to deal with the prep - welding to rust is a no-go, so he would have been stuck grinding for a while to get it clean enough to weld decently...and he would have been boned if he'd wound up melting through the skin.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just noticed some rust and slight crack on silencer. Appreciate any guidance on best approach to avoid further damage. Car is 2004 C2. 84k miles. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

mine is doing the same and while it was off my car, I asked my welder to fix it for me. he said it's not worth it and to just buy a new system or have him fab me up one. I think he didn't want to change the wire in his machine.

POST 3Original post

Those joints are double-rolled, and the outside edge always rusts first. If you do not have an exhaust leak, you can hit 'em with a wire brush and some Duplicolor high-heat ceramic spray paint to encapsulate the bare metal and keep them from rusting further. Getting new ones is a great idea, but if it's not currently in the budget, an hour of brushing and a $10 can of paint will make them look a whole lot less terrible.
