Bloody marzipan exhaust bracket - Help?!

[AMG Merc]

Bloody marzipan exhaust bracket has snapped again!It may have been gone for ages and all seems well (can't get it fixed until next week now anyway).

What damage could I expect, if any, if I continue to drive it?

You'll first knacker the turbo gasket, but be warned, if you continue to drive it you'll start pulling on the manifold and you'll have problems there.

If it was made of Marzipan it would bend, not break

It may also crack the silencer, offside as all the weight will be on the inlet pipe.

This happened to me.

Rob - maestro Skippy from NL welded a couple of extra pieces onto the exhaust bracket last time mine went such that it spreads the load better at both ends of the bracket. Has lasted several trackdays now with no signs of cracking. Just spot welding the thing back together is next to useless. I'll take a piccie later and post it if I can remember how to upload the damn things..

Thanks Rob, that'll be useful.
