Exhaust blowing

And ofcourse its the front section which has the CAT in it :woohoo:

There are a few options for front pipes on ebay, how do i know which one is correct?

Its a 2001 Y Reg with the 1328cc engine.

Cheers!

Snap! Mine too, literally went half an hour ago

Whereabouts on the cat has it gone? I believe mine has gone at the join between the front pipe (cat) and the middle pipe where the flanges bolt on to each other.

Mine went not to long ago as well, mine went where the front pipe enters the CAT I had mine welded back up and it's still going strong now 5 months latter.

My exhaust was hanging by a thread when I got the car. Whilst it was complete and not blowing the hooks had corroded through in a couple of places, so the exhaust was barely supported in the middle long section. It had been re-welded around the cat to hold the middle pipe on, I guess the weld had cracked through non-support. But why the turkey had failed to re-suspend the exhaust properly I don't know. It was bound to fail soon if not fully supported. I bit the bullet and replaced it from front to back, including the CAT.

Mines gone where the middle box joins the rear section of the exhaust... Typical that its the most expensive part.

Ive considered just chopping that box out and putting a sleeve in its place... hmmm

Does anyone know what diameter the pipe is?
