SEVERAL MODELS FROM NISSAN ARE SUBJECT TO A BROKEN FLANGE SITUATION, WHICH WE AT LOU’S REFER TO AS A “NISSAN REPAIR”. OFTEN, A HANGER IN THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WILL BREAK, CAUSING INCREASED STRESS ON A FLANGE THAT IS LOCATED NEAR THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A LEAK. INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE ENTIRE EXHAUST, WHICH IS WHAT MOST SHOPS WOULD BE FORCED TO DO, LOU’S CAN SIMPLY CUT OUT THE DAMAGED FLANGE AND WELD IN A SOLID SECTION OF PIPING WHILE ADDING A NEW HANGER WHERE THE BROKEN ONE WAS. THIS FIX ALSO ELIMINATES ANY FUTURE WORRIES IF THE HANGER BREAKS AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD, AS THERE IS NO LONGER ANY FLANGE TO LEAK. ANOTHER BENEFIT IS ALSO BEING ABLE TO KEEP THE STAINLESS STEEL FACTORY EXHAUST SYSTEM, WHICH IS USUALLY IN GREAT SHAPE EXCEPT FOR THE FLANGE, RATHER THAN REPLACING IT WITH A MUCH LOWER QUALITY AFTERMARKET SYSTEM THAT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN IN ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS.
