On point... use whatever DIY hacks you can come up with to pass inspection, as long as it lasts long enough to get you through the inspection.

...but not through a collision. Or maybe even daily use. That's a terrible recommendation.

Whatever works to beat the system. I've patched up more leaking mufflers and exhaust pipes with cut up soda cans and muffler clamps than I can remember.

Some have lasted a few months... some a few years. But in the end, I always got an inspection sticker.
