shieldsie Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Cant believe it. Got stuck in work 16 hours today after 10 hour night shift, due to a mains water pipe bursting tearing up the road like an earth quake. This then damaged gas pipes. Police blocked all roads off has the water was about 2.5 foot deep and like a river. After getting out and setting off home the exhaust snapped on the back joint Its the pipe that comes out of the back box to the left curls over the outlet pipe and then joins the center long pipe. Its snapped completely off at this joint I dont know where to start with replacing the exhaust or what sections What I need, where from, how long to wait, how much. Any help is appreciated.

marzman Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Very common problem mate. I have a replacement waiting to go on this weekend on mine. There's usually a back box and midpipe for sale for about £100 round here at any given time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasha@lazytrips Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi, I had exactly this happen to me a few weeks ago. After weighing up replacing parts, replacing with an aftermarket exhaust, etc, etc, I decided to save on the headache and took it to a local garage I know quite well to weld it. I know how it feels that getting new parts/exhaust system may feel like a long-term investment and all that, but I prefered to part with £70 and forget about the issue. The guy put strengthening plates around the joint to ensure it doesn't do it again. ever. I might at some point in the future go and get a shiny new one, but I decided to leave that decision for when I felt appropriate, rather than being dictated by the exhaust.

Walbertonio Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Yep, had same problem - you certainly have a few options, the weld on mine has held up fine and probably will for years if I was to leave it - but leaning toward a Scorpion in the new year.
