My Car Sheds Exhaust Parts Like a Deer Sheds Antlers

Before last night my LeBaron had only 2 exhaust parts I hadn't changed. Today it is down to 1/2. Changing the resonator turned into the same old story; buy the parts, start taking things apart and discover that another part really should be changed too. Of course you didn't buy THAT part and you need to get it fixed now. Also I know that the parts store doesn't sell the additional pipe I needed to change. The solution was kinda fun to do, I had a piece of exhaust tubing for my Ruzter Trike (I'll just pick up another one) , and I used it to replace a section of exhaust pipe on the LeBaron. The tubing being replaced was curved so I did some "fancy" mitering to approximate a bend. I posted how I did it on the Techniques BLOG.
