Rear exhaust flexi - hopefully first thing in morning before it gets too hot for rolling around under a car wearing overalls
Attempted this job today Found the loose bracket and replaced with a temporary U clamp
Then ran the engine while having a feel around for leaks
The flexi on the passenger side is blowing
I'm assuming this means I need a new back box or maybe the flexi can be replaced
A very kind gentleman has donated some used Dansk silencers for this. I've been to collect them today. I think the last MOT failure item was the passenger side silencer bust or split at the flexi. Interestingly one of these free to me silencers has already been repaired with a replacement flexi. Not sure yet which side. It would make sense of it was the same side.

I had the Dansk 'Sport Sound' silencers which sounded ace. Way too noisy for track days though so had to get rid in the end. My 'flexi' also went - it's just a bit of corrugated steel, not a proper flexi really - and I got mine replaced with a proper stainless flexi section for a few quid. They all go eventually but it's an easy fix if you have a local half decent exhaust or welding place.
Can you get the flexi in any length and diameter?I am also considering just welding the split in the current join / not a flexi thing
