The Quest is sounding a bit loud, as if the exhaust fell off (again)

There is a hole somewhere up front under some sort of a shroud/heat shield. It is in front of the cat-back assembly and is up with either a cat or resonator or something like that (I havn’ t really done the research yet to see what I need) . From when my wife did an oops, the cat- back system had to be welded to the whatever thing it attaches to (the mounting flange ripped off. I can replace the cat (i think) and have it welded back together (was $200 last time) or I can just get a new cat-back and stop this whole welding thing (as I ’ll have to have it welded again when the cat-back system needs to be replaced.)

its been fine, just needs some love as it approaches 100k miles.  it also needs front struts, but even with at, it will be cheaper to do the work then go get a new van.

She’d like the hand brake though.

I just had a problem with the flange on my 2014 pathfinder. No luck finding a 3 inch split  flange. So we welded the flange that failed because of rust.  Seems to be common problem, and seeing that the quest and pathfinder are very closely related. Guessing yours failed at the same point as my pathfinder did.

it wasn’ t the rust that caused it to fail, it was my wife driving off a curb and ripping the whole fucking system apart.

I even polished the tip while I had it all out but only for a minute.
