I had a small hole in my Celica TS exhaust as it went into the back box. I thought I had fixed it using exhaust paste. Apparently not.

On the drive home earlier my exhaust suddenly got quite a bit louder. Turns out the exhaust sheered off at the back box where I fixed the hole previously.





Can this be repaired? Or is it too far gone and needs replacing?

Well I would go a buy a new one, but Toyota want £399 for the back box. Cheapest I found online was £260.

Small hole?

That exhaust has had it mate. Have you tried eurocarparts or carparts4less

You will get one fro less than £100
They have nothing for the T sport. I tried a bunch of car parts sites with no luck. The 190 one seems to be a lot more expensive than the standard 140bhp Celica, also harder to get.

Wrong one, the 190 one has another box right before the tip and has a larger diameter tube. There's a lot of confusion between the two 140bhp and 190bhp versions.
