Dynamic Turtle Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Please see the attached picture. Is this something to be worried about? I managed to tear the mesh going over a dip into a car park at 2mph (argh!). The exhaust note has not changed at all and the car seemed to work just fine - no noticeable change in characteristics. But is this something to be worried about? Thanks, DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350 Russ Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Don't worry about it until it starts blowing, when it does go to a custom exhaust place like powerflow and get them to weld in some new flexis, shouldn't cost too much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 These flexi joints do go unfortunately but it's always a pain when these things happen accidentally. I'd just keep a good eye on it to make sure it's not blowing. It will probably start to blacken up around the area quite quickly if it is blowing. If that happens then you will need it replacing as a blowing exhaust would be an MOT failure I believe. Wouldn't worry about it too much though.

Thankfully I had the MOT done last month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
