Product Information
Full details
The CarPlan Exhaust Repair Bandage (MSB111) is an ideal solution for DIY vehicle owners looking to address major holes or splits in their exhaust system without immediate professional intervention. It utilizes a durable, heat-activated epoxy resin to create a robust, gas-tight seal that restores exhaust integrity. While this product is highly effective for temporary to mid-term repairs, it should be noted that it is not a permanent replacement for a damaged exhaust component and may not be suitable for structural failures at high-pressure manifold connection points.

FAQs
Can I use this on a manifold?
This bandage is intended for general exhaust pipe repairs; it is not recommended for high-pressure or extreme heat areas like the manifold.
Does it work on stainless steel?
Yes, it can be applied to stainless steel, provided the surface is prepped correctly with a wire brush.
Is this a permanent fix?
It is a highly durable repair, but it is considered a temporary to mid-term solution; professional replacement is recommended for long-term safety.
How long does the curing take?
The resin cures through engine heat; you should run the engine for 20 minutes or drive carefully after installation.
What if the hole is too large?
For extremely large holes where the pipe has lost its shape, a repair bandage may not provide sufficient support and the section may require welding or replacement.
Troubleshooting
Bandage is not sticking to the pipe
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of rust, grease, and dirt using a wire brush before application.
Exhaust is still leaking after repair
Check that the bandage was wrapped tightly enough and ensure there is at least a 13mm overlap across the damaged area.
Bandage feels soft after running the engine
The curing process may require more heat; run the engine for an additional 10 minutes or go for a short, careful drive.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Cost-effective alternative to immediate professional exhaust replacement
- Easy to apply without specialized mechanic tools

- Includes essential installation hardware like fixing wire
Cons
- Requires proper surface preparation for maximum adhesion
- Not intended as a permanent fix for structural integrity
- Requires engine heat to fully cure the resin
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground and the exhaust is cool enough to touch. You will need a wire brush and potentially safety gloves for the cleanup phase. This product is compatible with most standard steel exhaust pipes but may struggle to adhere to severely corroded, thin, or paper-thin sections of pipe where structural integrity is already gone. Once cured, avoid driving through deep water immediately, as thermal shock may affect the setting process. Regularly inspect the repair during routine oil changes to ensure the bandage remains securely fastened and no further cracking has occurred.
