Hmmm, heard of using them to fix a fan belt (back before serpentine belts six fet long:)) but never an exhaust. Maybe to tie it up towards the rear of the car?

Don't pantyhose melt when they get hot? That's how the Mrs. explains the big holes in the crotch of her pantyhose.

ye,a he'll fix a car with them, but in a more indirect manner. he needed the panty hose to put on his head so he could rob a car parts store without being identified on camera. you see, the panty hose were just phase 1 of the plan to get the part he needed to fix his car.

The exhaust tail pipe will still be too hot. I tried nylon Tyes before and the heat caused them to break.
