Exhaust has started to blow after yesterdays adventures, can feel some leakage from the pipe coming from the manifold into the cat. I'm guessing this might mean a new cat which I doubt wont be cheap??

I pulled my front pipe out of the cat whilst it was stuck on a rut whilst off roading. My mate at local garage managed to get the pipe welded back in and saved me a fortune on a new cat. Car sounded great whilst it was broken, 100 miles home in what sounded like a V8 jimny.

that seems a common place for the exhaust to go on the jimny , mine just went there with no off roading and then it used more petrol than ever . shop around for a cat look on ebay some well known garages want more than the cars worth for one ! :(

if you cant go round it go over it ! or vice versa ?

Yeah had a great time, surprised at what it managed to do! Though think a bit of a lift would do wonders, caught a few times on the underneath.

Had a bit of a search on ebay and stuff, found this in google too.
cat

They all seem a similar price.

Will have a ring round locally and see when i get chance.

Yeah, common place, that's where mine broke but it's sleeved there so an easy weld repair is all thas's needed.
