Broken Exhaust

[Impressed]

Had a noisy exhaust recently and presumed it was a loose coupling before the back box. Upon inspection, the weld on the flange on the pipe from the back box connecting to the mid section has cracked all the way around (back box pipe flange). The rest of the exhaust seems fine. Car is an MY08 313 with 50000 miles.

Could a garage re-weld this? I am quite happy with the standard exhaust. What do you guy’s recon pricewise?

I suspect it would require tack welding in position and then removing for full welding.

Any help appreciated.

Common fail area, you can have a sleeve welded in place, should be circa £50-£70 or if you fancy a new exhaust take a look on our website...

Thank you CS.

Had a look at your options and as tempting as they are I think I will try to get a few more miles before I replace.

However I will bear it in mind for future.

Thanks for the advice.

Common fail area as stated. Stainless is usually the upgrade

Had this done to mine a few months back, cost me £40 and about an hour of my time.

Thank you.

I will be getting it welded for the time being. I will consider an upgrade later and will probably be seeking your advice again.

Thanks again.
