Some of you may have seen in a couple of other threads that some damage was caused to our exhaust when Shaz drove over something (looked like a can)on the motorway a few days ago.

As you will see, I think we were lucky the only damage caused was to the exhaust as it could have been a lot worse. And no wonder the damn thing sounds like a tractor /haz

Impacts:

1: Flexi section - leaking, needs to be cut out and a new section welded in
2: De-cat pipe - badly dented but not punctured
3: Rear section - punctured and needs repairing
4: More damage !

Glad it was only the zorst that made contact. That must have been something quite heavy/solid to do that.

Bloodeh heck, must have been something heavy... thats some damage youve picked up there. Did you get it fixed today? or just checking damage?

Nah, she's going in Monday to the guys who made my pipework in the engine bay. They will custom fit a new flexi bit and repair the punture - hopefully !

Sounds like its about time you got a full exaust system installed ;) Since you are spending money on the exaust anyway...

That doesn't look very good at all Pete. Lucky it didn't hit any body work.

I'm with Kenneth, it's a good time to get a full exhaust installed

Yeah, but hopefully the repairs will only be £100-£120, whereas a new system would of course be substantially more.....and I would have to go for twin exits, not that I have thought about it of course.

Nope, must resist......need cash for RT4.....so repaired it will be !

Ok, it's not being repaired. Once they saw the damage the quote to repair went up considerably, and also they felt the second flexi section should be replaced.

Looks like I will be buying Kev's off him, basically identical to mine. May be fitted today.

You barsteward, I was all ready just to sell mine on. Just spent a few minutes considering this now, but.......I don't think I will. Mind you twin super dragers would be a first.

But then I would have to buy another insert (to get under 100dB) and pay for the custom work. Unless you fancy doing it for me mate ? /haz
