Hello guys just picked up a exctractor for my escort and noticed that theres 5 cent hole at the end of the big pipe were the 4 go in just wondering what could i do to patch the hole ive poked out all the lose crap. is there some kind of "bandaid" or somethin that i can put there as the rest of the extractor is still in good nick. thanks

ps: would heat proof paint be ok to spray on the extractor??

Get a plate welded over the hole.
You can also get heat proof paint specifically for exhausts and engines.
Doesn't last a long time though.

Sounds like a oxy sensor hole.

You could also drill the hole to make it round and regular then tap it and put a short bolt in it to plug it.

Sorry, id just take it to your exaust shop and get him to either weld a plate on it as said by EBXR, or just weld up the hole.

lol just weld it up mate

The problem with the big extractors for esky's is the fact they are so damn close to the ground and easily hit speed bumps (know from experience). There really isn't much you can do, especially if lowered right down (like mine was.. reach up under guard to touch the top of the low profiles on 13x7" hotwires).

Just oxy it up and make sure its a decent amount, or plate it.

Be careful over speedbumps.
