All... Just got back from a 200 mile blast In my 2004 Tuscan S... It has v nice cans on the back by the carbon can co... And as I pulled into the garage... It sounded odd. Upon looking underneath.. Where there is a junction out of the left hand box that attaches to the can end... It has sheared.. Virtually off. Now... Should this "join" be repaired or do I need a new rear end section... If so.. Is some outfit like quick fit going to have a box to fit it? Not had or done anything in terms of exhaust in the 7 years I have had it.... It seems such a small break..any advice welcome as I have no idea about this sort of thing... Cheers chaps...

Cheers guys... Did you get a welder or similar to do this .. Or do you think somewhere like Quickfit could do it? I have no idea about exhausts as you can tell!!!

That's exactly where mine has gone... Where your nice shiny new part joins the box.. Where the clamp is... It is hanging off that.. Where did you get yours done .. Locally,,, or at a main garage / retailer... God I am so crap with this part of the car... Fine with everything else... Never ever had to do anything except bung the carbon cans on the end...LOL... Good to know it's not just me.. And very glad it didn't sever completely at 120mph+ on M25.... Thanks...
