Had the S1 out this morning and on the way to work it, suddenly it sounded diffrent from the exhaust, sounded like it was leaking, so thought that one of the clamps had come loose.... :
But when I arived i had a look under the car, and saw a hole in the middle of the pipe just before the rear silencer @ aprox 5cm i diameter
Sorry no pics yet, till i get home tonigth


But have anyone ever seen ore hear of that before...

the exhaust are only 3 yr old and covered 1250 miles

are only running 0.65 bar of boost and complet standard othervice

 

never heard of that mate. mongoose are normally very good and well made. did it catch on anything at all that may have caused it to puncture like that? either way it's not the end of the world as you should be able to repair it if you know how to weld or can atleast get a competant welder to sort it for you.

Tom

Thats my plan

 

any news?

 

No havnt got time to write to them yet

 

That looks like something has burnt/melted through it from the inside mate

 

got an reply today:

We have had a look at this and the hole is where there would be a bracket for the system that attached to the L shaped bracket that you get with it and it looks like it has possibly been caught on something in the road, in this case we couldn’t warrant the part as it is damage but what i can do is offer you another part at 25% discounted price

so looks like Im gonna get it weld up
