If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any at all. LoL Today I was driving/walking around doing the Pokemon Go thing with our son. Out of nowhere Eltyy decides to do her best impression of our long lost Mustang GT. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good throaty sound from my car but the cops may feel differently if they see the cat on back separated due to rust. I guess I'm looking at an entire system at this point? I'll be under it in the morning trying to figure a way to strap it all up until I can scrape up the funds.

Looks like a gasket and two nuts and bolts

Ohhh, I wish it were so easy. LoL Ohio salted roads took its toll on the flanges on both ends. I looks around last night and I think the fast and dirty fix is a sawsall and a sleeve that will fit with some pipe clamps. I have no budget for a full system so it'll have to hold till I can save up.

Another good fix!

Well.. Did you at least catch anything good!?!?

LoL, I got a Ponyta and a Venomoth. Other than that it was really slow. I would have stayed out longer if I wasn't worried about waking up the whole town.

Got it all patched up today with a connector and a reducer after chopping off the flanges. I had to slot the reducer to compress it a little smaller to get it into the part on the right of the image. Not pretty but it worked. Now to save up the money for the right stuff.

Tried the front brake upgrade tonight and got one side done. The drivers side rotor is frozen on solid. Tried PB Blast, WD40, heat, hammer, and puller. Won't budge single bit.now I have a warped, bits broken, and stuck rotor. The passenger side was a little stuck but I managed to get it loose and swapped.

In this case, the "get a bigger hammer" may be the right solution. Since you've already ruined the rotor, it can't get worse, right? I would get a 4 pound hand sledge and whack that sucker right on it's face. That should break the death grip the corrosion is providing.
Not a bunch of love taps but like you're going for the center field fence.

Uh, may I assume that you removed the hold down clips if these were the factory rotors?
