How reliable are exhaust repairs?

[HEADPHONES]

Zed just came back from it's 15 year service and MOT.

Got an advisory of minor damage to flexi joints and perishing flange between mid pipe and rear silencer.

 

Really like the looks and sound of the old OEM and was thinking of getting it welded/repaired.

 

However if others experience only a short lifespan of such repairs I may look into a Scorpion with rolled tips as these have the most OEM tips I can see online.

Just leave until it breaks/leaks.

 

You will probably get the same advisory next year. 

 

Scorpion is a decent shout and it fits well.

Tbh if it’s just the outer sheaths to the flexis and just a bit more than surface corrosion on the flange you’ll still most likely be alright for a long while, our lads just advise things to cover themselves obviously it’s all down to their own interpretation. My flexis look like they’re not even trying to hold together but internals are fine haha! but if you’re looking for an excuse to upgrade I’m completely with you!
