Rob_Quads Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 This morning I noticed the exhaust was a bit noiser than normal. Looking under i can see that it looks like its leaking on the backbox side of the join between backbox and middle section. Heres a pic after the engine has run for a few minutes Not the best timing as its entering my winter holiday time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 iirc bigphil is doing a good deal on clearing out some scorpion exhausts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 BTW the other side of the join is completely dry I had seen that there are some scorpions around at the moment which appear to be the cheapest fix so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Exactly the same place mine split, if you don't manage to replace it before it goes altogether you will need some ear muffs The sound is awesome Ps I was told by big Phil that it would cause no damage at all if it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 lol - doesn't sound promising. Was it just on that weld and then it just went. I guess due to how corroded the join is its a case of replacing it back to the cats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was pretty much the same, had a scoprion on for a bit, is a really good bit of kit for the money , Go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 pretty common issue with age, especially if the car is used year round don't forget the Turbo XS full catback system deal we have (includes y pipe!) in the traders section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I guess due to how corroded the join is its a case of replacing it back to the cats? Just back to the Y pipe mate. Fletch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I guess due to how corroded the join is its a case of replacing it back to the cats? Just back to the Y pipe mate. Fletch +1 but i guess if your 3 quarters of the way there then i personally would go the whole way and get a stainless y-pipe (you'd be suprised how heavy it is) Unless you get something like a dc system which is from the cat back and has no need for a y-pipe.

GIXXERUK Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 its a shame bigphil hasn't got some surplus Y pipes but i he hasn't listed any yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkie350z Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 My exhaust gave it up on tuesday & broke in that exact place in Photo on first post. I am now in need of an exhaust. I would quite like to replace the "Y" pipe also. Car is 53 plate & done 62.5k Miles. Been looking at 2 on ebay, the Magnex cat back system & the Mongoose. Both look identical. Looking at these as just want something looking fairly standard & not too noisey but Stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
