my exhaust backbox flange has broken

[DaddyCee]

would it do any damage driving the vehicle 30 miles a day with the exhaust backbox blowing if my ears can stand it that is?

Depends how long you intend to do that for

DC, I've just replied to your PM...

Mine went the other day... It's bloody noisy! Still drove it about 15 miles to the garage where they just welded it up (for free! yay! Sometimes being female does have its perks!) and so far so good, although will have to look at replacing the exhaust in the New Year.

I wouldn't have fancied driving around for too long with it making that racket though...good luck x

^{was noisy but the guys at Kwik Fit said that it sounded like how a 350Z should have sounded.}

 

^{We located the issue and they didn't charge for the inspection. Just ordered a Cobra Resonated Backbox from CS on here would definitely recommend them. Having it couriered to my garage of choice and then they will fit next week. Don't intend on using the car much until its sorted. The guys at Kwik Fit said that depending on where the hot exhaust gases are leaking from it may affect the bodywork, so best to err on the side of caution. They said that the blow on mine couldn't be welded as it was from the connection and quite a large hole had developed.}

^{glad to hear yours has had a temporary fix.}

They would say that as its kwick fit lol. However good choice on the new exhaust system..... very nice indeed

I had the exhaust on my golf snap just before the cat. As it was in the middle of winter I didnt fancy getting under the car so drove around with it like that for a week. As long as its not dragging on the floor its fine. Loads of zeds go in the same place.

I can't really knock kwik fit, as they have been really good to me...I think it's like anywhere, its all down to the individuals who work there, and if its a good team (who know their stuff etc) then they're ok to use for the basic stuff, emergencies etc. Some of the independents round here charge a fortune just to look at your car, nevermind if you want work doing....Kwik fit here are always accomodating and I don't find the guys bullsh*t you as much and everytime I've had cause to use them, I've been happy with what they've done and I don't feel ripped off.
