Exhaust Welding & Leak Repair in Cleveland, Ohio

We're a welding shop first, an exhaust shop second — and that's exactly why your exhaust repair lasts longer with us. The big muffler chains hand exhaust work to rotating technicians with clamps and couplers. We weld it. Properly. With the same precision we bring to frame and structural welding work.


If your exhaust is rattling, roaring, leaking fumes into the cabin, or triggering a check engine light, bring it to Arc Wheels Welding. We'll find the leak, weld the repair, and send you out with a quiet, sealed exhaust that won't come apart six months later when another hanger rusts through.

Why a Welding Shop Beats a Muffler Chain...

There's a reason the exhaust on your last repair fell apart. Muffler chains are built on volume, not craftsmanship. They swap parts, clamp pipes, and send you down the road. That works — until the clamp loosens, the rubber coupler rots, or the hanger snaps from the weight of an unsupported pipe.


Welding is permanent. When we weld an exhaust joint, that joint is stronger than the pipe around it. When we weld a new hanger onto your frame, it stays there. When we patch a cracked flange with a TIG weld, it holds under heat cycling for the life of the vehicle. The difference isn't the parts — it's who's doing the work.


We're welders. Exhaust work just happens to be something we're great at.
 

Symptoms We Fix Every Week

Not sure what's wrong with your exhaust? Here are the most common signs Cleveland drivers bring to us:

 

  1. Loud roar or growl that got worse over time — usually a cracked pipe, broken hanger, or rotted muffler

  2. Rattling or clanking under the car — almost always a broken exhaust hanger or heat shield

  3. Exhaust fumes inside the cabin — a leak near the manifold or a cracked flex pipe

  4. Check engine light with oxygen sensor codes — often a leak upstream of the O2 sensor

  5. Ticking noise at idle that goes away at speed — classic manifold leak or cracked flange

  6. Exhaust dragging on the ground — broken hanger, guaranteed
