time for the old routine again
weld broke on the back driver side of the H pipe. Fixed the passenger side a couple of years ago. Should've welded the driver side at the same time

Yep, not surprised. I think we have Arvin to thank for that. I'm pretty sure it was they that had the contract to produce those pipes for GM in the early '90s.

Might want to ask a local muffler shop how they would fix it. Then you would know whether you have the right equipment or not.

Good way to do it would be to tack it while in the correct position (bolted up, etc), then lower if necessary and continue the welding.

well, took the exhaust out, and it wasn't the other side that broke... it turns out I did have both sides welded, but the freaking weld had no penetration on the flange at all
