Default Exhaust trouble RS Turbo

Flexy section on my scorpion exhaust has blown, I have been phoning stockists all day and no one has the part as its not made anymore. Also phoned scorpion direct and was told the same thing.

What I want to know is, what are my options? I could replace with a solid pipe but that defeats the purpose I would say?

Cheers in advance, Paul

You can buy a universal section of flexy . However im not sure if you can get them stainless . You need a flexy or i imagine you would run the risk of cracking you manifold or snapping studs.

I thought about that too! I think burton sell them? I suppose there is a lot hanging off the head already without the stress of a solid exhaust!

Cheers mate!
