EGR broke off of my rear OBX Header

EGR broke off of my rear OBX Header

Postby SirThomas88 » Thu Jun 03, 2010 9:35 pm

I just read a post by hskrsolara where the same thing happened to him.

A couple weeks ago the EGR tube broke off of my rear header (OBX) right at the weld. Then a few days later a good inch of it snapped off again while I was driving.

Anyone have any suggestions as far as how to fix it? I'd just seal it up, but I want a working EGR for when emissions time comes.

I have some exhaust tape I bought from Advanced Auto or Auto Zone that is supposed to mend holes in exhaust, but I'm not sure how reliable it is that close to the engine (melt or catch fire?), or if it would cause problems when I get ready to do more permanent repairs on it (get in the way of welding?). Hskrsolara mentioned that he attached a high-temp silicone hose. Not sure how that would hold up either, but I wouldn't mind replacing it every month or so if it works well enough.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I did write to OBX today. Still waiting for a response.
