How to fix a crack in the exhaust?

HogWildHarley10 2007-12-02	I have a crack in my exhaust pipe. I don’t have much money and I was hoping it can be repaired without replacing the entire pipe. Does anyone think this can be done? So far I have talked to a few people and they suggested that I go to a welding shop and see if they can fix the crack. However, my concern is whether this is legal. I was informed that it is against the law to weld a anything related to the exhaust pipe. Is this true or is this their way of getting money out of you to buy from them?

HogRiderMi 2007-12-06	To repair the crack in your exhaust, my suggestion is to buy some JB weld, that you can get at any department store or automotive store for about $5 dollars. Depending on where you live, if the humidity is high outside, it will take longer to cure. When putting the solution on make sure you use thin applications. When you put several thin applications, it seems to work better than one thick lump. Overall, JB weld should work good. I used it in the past on my Ford exhaust manifold that had a nickle size hole and it worked perfect.
