.. I hit what looked like a breeze block yesterday and have ripped a hole in the flexi section of my exhaust (Magnex IIRC), there was oncoming traffic so I couldnt swerve to avoid it, fucking lucky it didnt do more damage really! But still.. lol

Can I buy that section seperately does any one know, and is it a Magnex as there are no markings that I can see on it?

Cheers!

Sorry to hear that mate.I had same thing happen three times down the same road section near me.Funny thing was each time something was in the road,was something different and a little futher round the corner and just like you, there was no where to move,apart from on coming traffic.Lucky me got solid exhaust system but even they can only take so much.Hear a slight leak since bottomed out at petrol station :-(

 

Thanks for that, unfortunately they only do one length and that is far too small, and even then I would need someone to TIG it on for me too
Yeah it's a pain!

 

Karlos you can buy just that one section from magnex as I done the same thing about 4 years ago, iirc was about £90+vat though. You could buy a full system with a good flexi for that and just flog the rear box and other bits you dont need. I just brought a mongoose system off the internet.

 

karlos i have a solid 2.5 inch down pipe mint with lamba boss welded in .... just sat in garage if its any good to you ... its a moongoose

no problem mate

 

Phoned them today and they dont sell them anymore, only solid now.
I think a complete good second hand one is the answer!
Cheers Mark but prefer a flexi thanks though mate.

 

Theres one for sale in the Rs bits for sale section mate just spotted it

 

had this last year 2 karlos all i did was take the flexi section down to my local exhaust centre and they matched the flexi up with a new one and made me a complete new section with a new hanger on aswell cost me 30 quid and was stainless 2

 

Already PM'd the guy!! Cheers!
Oh! That sounds good!
Exhaust center? Surely not like a Kwik Fit or Fast Fit?

 

no its called hallys down my way there an independent exhaust centre and specialise in fabricatins custom exhausts and systems.

 

no problem mate

 

karlos i make stainless exhausts for a living if only you were closer id happily sort you out i have all lengths and bores on the shelf i get them through longlife exhausts even the longest 4 inch bore ones are 12quid to us, unfortunatley my boss wouldnt let me mail one but he would let me fit it, might be worth contacting your local longlife centre tho they are all over the country.
oh and if your not bothered about looks you can mig onto stainless no problem with standard mild steel wire

 

Ah ok cool, thanks!
No worries mate, shame i'm not a bit closer!

Been offered a Mint flexi from another member on here so I'll probably have that, just waiting in a pic to double check it's condition.

Cheers Fella's!

 

Sorry to hear of your missfortune mate, i once came round a bend in my mk3 escort turbo only to find a lorry helper spring in the middle of the road! the only thing i could do was straddle it, it cut my rear silencer clean off was not happy

 

Karlos - Pipecraft in basildon sorted mine out. I never had one fitted previously and they welded a section into mine. No problems what so ever.

 

Karlos / Dave,

I was just about to suggest Pipecraft, they have built numerous exhaust for myself and mates in the past with no complaints.

I would def recommend going there, they'll even make you a bespoke system as well and the best thing of all thier work is good and they dont charge a fortune.

just find a custom exhaust place, e.g. powerflow, would be the cheapest option really.
