Product Information
Full details
The CarPlan Exhaust Repair Bandage is an essential solution for vehicle owners who need a quick, reliable fix for leaks or cracks in their exhaust system without needing professional mechanical intervention. It is designed for those looking to patch holes and splits using a durable, heat-activated epoxy resin that creates a permanent gas-tight seal. While it is highly effective for structural damage, it is intended as a semi-permanent repair and may not be suitable for severely rusted or disintegrating sections of pipe that require full replacement.

FAQs
Can I use this on a manifold?
This product is designed for exhaust pipes. It may not hold up to the extreme temperatures directly at the manifold.
Do I need to sand the pipe first?
Yes, removing loose rust and oil with a wire brush is critical for the resin to bond properly.
How long does the repair last?
While it is a durable repair, its lifespan depends on the condition of the surrounding metal and environmental exposure.
Is the fixing wire reusable?
No, the provided wire is intended for a single use to secure the bandage during the curing process.
Can I drive the car immediately after applying?
No, you must allow the engine to idle for 20 minutes to heat-cure the resin before putting the vehicle under load.
Troubleshooting
Bandage is not sticking to the pipe
The surface was likely not cleaned well enough. Remove the bandage, use a wire brush to remove all rust/oil, and reapply.
Exhaust fumes still leaking after repair
The bandage may have been wrapped too loosely. Ensure the overlap is tight and the fixing wire is pulled taut during installation.
Bandage feels soft after driving
The exhaust may not have reached a high enough temperature to fully cure the resin. Run the engine for an additional 10 minutes at idle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off and cool. Clean the repair area thoroughly using a wire brush to remove rust, oil, and road grime. Failure to clean the surface is the primary cause of adhesion failure. Once applied, do not drive the vehicle until the 20-minute heat-curing process is completed. Keep the product stored in a cool, dry place to prevent the epoxy from prematurely activating or drying out inside the packaging.
