Leaking exhaust flexy

[SILICONEKID345HP]

I have two large holes in the flex , is there a grind off bolt on solution ? Those avertised on fleabay will fouling the chassis.

If someone's good with a grinder they might be good with a welder, can't you have a new flexi welded on? Mines later so has no flexi so I can't picture how it's attached!

Maybe it's time for the Act Cherry bomb set up,, with your engine
I helped fit Rich ACT with another likeable Richard, no leaks and sounds epic on Rich's car. Full race car when opened up but very reasonable when on light throttle, very impressive.
This isn't helping is it

Done the sports exhaust thing , combined with full decat it was crazy loud .

I had a flexy welded in arpund three years ago ,its now let go .Im wondering if it needs to be flexi , there seems to be engine movement when on the engine dyno at v8 d .

My flexi split a while back so as a temporary repair I sleeved it with some very thin zinc sheet (spare Velux window flashing) secured with two jubilee type clips.

Until you mentioned it I had completely forgotten it was still there, must have been on now for 5 years!

There is some weld on ones on the bay
Also some bolt on job I have the bolt on one with the clamps turned as close as possible
No problems
If you go weld on the lot has to come off

I want to bolt on , do you know the outside dimeter and do you have a link .?

Is it difficult to drop the exhaust without a lift ?

I think it's 72mm
But I'm in Spain and the cars in Yorkshire

Daz, it's not difficult but it is a bit of a faff as it's pretty heavy. As well as the exhaust mounting bolts you need to undo the rear anti-roll bar from the chassis (not the drop links though) and pull it down to give clearance to pull the exhaust out. Alternatively, these will sort it out on a drive-in/drive-out basis and they're good value: http://www.custom-chrome.co.uk/retailshop.html

I took the car to smart cars today , reckons a piece of solid pipe would do the job .

Any thoughts ? my other exhaust did not have a flex and did not give me any problems .

It would stop any future repairs .
