I have a tiny leak in my muffler canister due to it scrapping my drive way. A small amout of exhaust is coming out.
Is there anything they sell at O'riely's, Advanced Auto, Autozone, Walmart to repair this??

take it to a muffler shop, they will weld it up for like 10 bucks

 

exhaust cement at auto zone under the exhaust repair side... i use it for touching up my custom welds after using my mig welder. works great its like putty and you apply it let it set for 4 hours n your good to go.

 

imo i would do like what 1988_96hb says take it to the shop. i have put the putty stuff on and it works for a while but i ended up taking my car to the shop to have it welded any way so for me it was just a waste of money.

all that other stuff is junk. it usually lasts like 2 weeks, and if you scraping the ground anyway theres no way a cement is going to hold up. welding is your best bet.

 

my exhaust has not leak yet, not saying it wont but its holding up on my end so i cant really bad mouth it just yet. Seeing the location of the damage its fairly easy to get to so i would just rub the cement but if you dont mind the trip to the muffler shop just do that. I would personally just rub some cement in at night and let it cure till morning.

 

exhaust shop for sure. fix the problem once and be done with it
