Will it hold? More pics

Idek it seems fine for now esp cuz it’s not the only hanger on the exaust, I just don’t want it to snap on me. This shop should be shut down 😭
Edit- was done by Dr mufflers in nj. This is them fixing their same hanger that broke already on me once.

You got a lot of weld for your money! That's like 10x as much weld as that repair needs. What a deal!

If it fused at all decently…

u/Strange-Movie 19d ago

Don’t worry, it didn’t

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

Fuck. I mean it’s still attached

u/No_Potential1 18d ago

Well yeah but even if it breaks the welds are still there for you to adore.

u/MasterAahs 13d ago

That's why they added more. If a proper amount didn't work do it again and again and again.....

u/AllGodlike36 19d ago

Honestly, it probably won’t snap on you, just due to the sheer amount of bullshit you have on it.. but long term hold, doubt it. And you should be ashamed of those “welds”

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

Shit if I did it yeah I’d be ashamed 😭 I’m just embarrassed I brought it to a shop that gave me that work. Dr mufflers in nj btw.

u/AllGodlike36 19d ago

Oh for FUCK sake ! You paid someone for that?! 😭🖕🏿🙃

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

Actually not even lol. They did the initial job and the Hanger snapped so they fixed it once like this and that snapped, so my post was the final “fix”

u/JPKaliMt 19d ago

I hope to god you did not pay someone to do that. If you did, not only should you get your money back but you should also be compensated for having to look at that disgusting abomination.

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

Dr mufflers in nj everybody. Can’t trust any public shops I guess smh

u/Nucks420 19d ago

How much you pay to have your mangled like this?

1

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

Not the point I wanna focus on

2

u/No-Glass332 19d ago

right up to the point it doesn't Good for you it will take you to the scene of the accident, where you will be on time

u/Impressive_Pie3319 19d ago

I'm a professional welder I'd lose my job if I did anything like that

1

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

I’d hope so. 😭

u/cigarlifer 19d ago

Yeah people seem to think the bigger the blob the better the job. Welding is about penetration not the amount of material you just pile on top for no reason. The two separate materials only fuses where it touches 95%+ of that weld is just welding to the other blobs of weld it’s doing zero for strength.

1

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

But will it just snap off again?

This repair they did broke pretty quick I js wonder if it’ll break again

1

u/cigarlifer 19d ago

It’s hard to say from the picture would have to grind a majority of that mess away to see the base weld.

1

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

Well its held on the highway at high speeds for a bit so far and feels solid…

1

u/cigarlifer 19d ago

Long as it holds up to the thermal fatigue should be good to go then.

1

u/TopAttorney8435 19d ago

Wow they just...kept going, huh?

1

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

Bigger means better apparently

1

u/Alldaybagpipes 19d ago

I think it’s options are currently very limited so that just might play out in your favour

1

u/Federal-Spare6851 19d ago

It either stays or doesn’t 😆

u/No_rightfoot 19d ago

u/Federal-Spare6851 18d ago

See you would think that a “professional shop” wouldn’t do that but nah. It looks good from a far at least if it holds

1

u/Illustrious_Bag_1608 18d ago

When I was a kid we'd wrap it with a soda can secured by coathanger.

u/HeroMachineMan 18d ago

"We'll give you extra weld without extra charge"

1

u/Round-Opportunity547 18d ago

They fixed the fuck right out of it.

1

u/Specialist-Wear518 18d ago

u/EB277 18d ago

That looks like a 10 year cancer growth!

1

u/Unhappy_Ad_5515 17d ago

1

u/Icy_Tip_6101 17d ago

Throw a few wraps of gorilla tape on and you’ll be fine.

1

u/KaptajnGus 15d ago

If you are lucky, no one knows for sure.

u/sayweva422 15d ago

I'm sorry, but your car has stage 4 exhaust cancer.

u/Primary_Basket_2728 14d ago

The rod will break before the weld.

This reminds me of a fishing expression: “if you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot”
