Carbon exhaust can detached

[cdt]

Yesterday one of the carbon exhaust can's decided to part company with my Tuscan and spun off behind me on. Luckly I realised it came off fairly quickly and managed to go back and find it.

The can looks in okay condition, apart from a few scratches and a small dent in the tip it survived okay.

The rear section of the can (the metal part) is still attached to the rest of the exhaust on the car, with there being nothing behind the carbon fibre section on the detached can. Is it likely the section of the Exhaust Can could be refitted? How does the carbon fibre section of the can attach to the metal section behind it?

The scratches look worse than they are with the Flash. So the top is the end that should be attached to the rest of the exhaust.

Can't really help with the attachment issue, possibly riveted and/or bonded with resin? My advice is ditch them and get some Performance Power units. They are much lighter (for the straight thru ones anyway) and will be less prone to going AWOL.Not to mention the sound upgrade.

They look pretty FUBAR'ed to me. I have just changed my cans to blue flame so have a pair of straight through Carbon cans going spare. PM if interested.

S6Devil..don't mind me asking where you got your blue flame cans from (they don't seem to do them on their website?) I've been contemplating a change myself, quite like the ACT cans..prefer the deeper tone..do you have any decent sound bites/clips of yours? Cheers..

I got them second hand on ebay, I don't think blue flame do them anymore. I don't have any sound bites/clips but they do sound good with the decats! No raspiness just a deeper tone with plenty of pops and bangs although I have to admit, not as many as with the carbon cans!

Are your straight through Carbon Cans still on offer? Drop me a PM if they still are..

Thanks for the advice.

It was the pipe going through the centre of the can which has broken. It may have been able to be welded back but given the cosmetic damage and the relatively low cost of a new can, I think I will just get a new one.

I presume the new cans just clamp on and aren't welded?

My car failed its MOT partly on the missing silencer, although that wasn't too much of a shock!

Yes, they just clamp on, easy job!
