rodgeevans Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Im currently suffering from the usual broken exhaust round the flange and will be looking to get it cut out and a pipe weilded over the join as a temporary measure till i have the money to get a scorpion exhaust or similar. What i was wondering is my exhaust has completely split away from the flange does anyone know if this increases fuel consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 might have a small effect but its so far back the gasses are almost out anyway and your only loosing some silencing thats all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 OK cheers for that might not bother with the repair then and just save for a new exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I've got the same problem at the moment .. Hopefully should be having it sorted this weekend though ... Mine ony has a small crack so shouldn't be too much work to have sorted .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 the only long term issue is from the broken flange, where are the hot gasses going, if its pointed at part of the underside that either has wires or anything patic near it; there is a risk over a long drive that you could melt something. the likelyhood is that the exit for the gases is pointing towards the floor, and if so then there won't be an issue.

rodgeevans Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Well had the exhaust fixed at the weekend in the end and it defenately seems to of improved the fuel consumption even tho i now wasn't expecting it to so hopefully the fix should pay for itself but a comparision will be made when it gets it next full fuel refill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
