Guest Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hey all, It's come to my attention that when getting under the car to check for rust when I was buying, I evidently checked the front and sides, and got distracted and didn't check the rear. As a result I have an exhaust issue, whereby the connection between the backbox and the pipe is bummed, and you can see a gap that exhaust comes out through. I didn't notice it until today, it would seem that between yesterday and today a rattle has developed. My question is, is it a case of replacing just the backbox section, or do I need to replace that pipe too due to the end looking screwed? If I'm doing both, am I better off replacing the whole exhaust system? Anybody have a ballpark figure to replace with stock pipes and backbox for the time being? I'm meant to be going on holiday soon! Thx for any advice =) Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxx180 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Common failure on the joint. Mine went and had a tube welded in place of the joint. eBay have a few 2nd had stock exhausts if you want cheap 👠1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) If money is tight just get that section cut out and have a sleeve welded or clamped in. Edit: too slow as a above. Edited February 11, 2017 by SHEZZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thanks guys, I'd like a new exhaust, but hadn't planned on a new system quite this soon! I will see what my friendly mechanic can quote me =) Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxx180 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Amazon also have cheap stainless systems. (Under £300 for middle and back section )Not sure what their like though mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1979 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 As has already been said, if money is tight, get a sleeve welded as a temp fix and save for a proper stainless replacement, ark grip FTW BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I was looking at systems for half the day today as a result of this! The motordyne system and ART pipes look and sound pretty good, if pretty pricey!! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
