Common fault I am afraid, options are to repair or replace.

 

You have pm.

+1 very common. New back box required.

no 'fraid not it's a weld up job AFAIK

The join with the back box is the first thing to go on a lot of OEM exhausts - common fault...its not just a case of a gasket - you could get it welded but it will go again within months - you'll pick up second hand OEM cat back for about £120-£170 no probs

oh bo*&^%$s so just back box or center section?? its like a stock car!!

You'll need to look at your budget mate... I'd just go cat back - try any of the traders on here - I assume you've spoken to zmanalex already as he's posted a reply to you - or you could put up a wanted thread

I had mine properly welded with a sleave.

 

Its been purr fect for months now

 

Cost:- £30 - £60

 

If you exhaust is in otherwise good condition this might be your best option as it was for me

did have a brief look the other day and saw some moisture on the join. may try welding but will have a look tonight and see what the crack is........
