The exhaust on my old Focus is in a sad state... the Pipe after the main muffler broke... so I did the classic beer can exhaust repair.

I plan on doing a full cat-back exhaust replacement soon... so clearly this is just temporary.

Growing up in Texas. I honestly though new cars didn’t rust. This clearly proves that wrong.

You rarely see first gen Focus here in Manitoba Canada, If you do 90% of them have no rocker panels left.

They were very poorly built cars.

Enough of this exhaust replacement, it’s almost as bad as brakes. Tired of it.

Replacement soon...6-12 months(?). Full stainless this time (Shout out to McMike).

I know what you mean. I grew up in Houston and have lived in California and Oregon since then. I went to Chicago last month and was shocked at the rust on mid to late 2000's cars. a good 6 inches, all the way around, of the bottom would be rust. Meanwhile I have a 45 year old car with 0 rust issues. I did do a shitty paint job I did in a barn, with tractor paint twenty years ago, that was sprayed over the original paint.

I did this on an F150 with a soup can a few years ago. Good repair, held up surprisingly well.

I have one and can confirm they are UNBELIEVABLY poorly built. It is the only vehicle I’ve ever taken a wrench to where I wish I never did.

We did this for a rally once.
