S1 exhaust problems

[steve111s]

HI TO YOU ALL

I would just like to see if anyone out there can help me
with a problem I have on my S1 elise.
My flexi downpipe has broken and has got to be replaced.
I ordered a new one and went to put it on and found that
the old one I have taken off, is a larger bore than the new one.
Thus meaning it aint right. Can anyone help me with this or give
any advice where I can pick one up. PLEASE HELP ME, AS THE SUMMER
IS HERE AND I DONT WANT TO HAVE MY CAR SITTING ON RAMPS ALL SUMMER.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
someone HELP ME..

THANK YOU. I am in the SE London Area.

Steve, you'll only have a problem if the inside diameter of your new flexy pipe is smaller than the downpipe which feeds it. The existing flexy may well be larger than the downpipe dia (if my memory serves me right).

Steve you really know how to indear yourself to this community dont you with your little backhander comment. These "people on here" are imparting knowledge/experience left right and centre for free and I am constantly staggered with the effort put into holding others hands on minor/major issues. You got your answer a day later for fecks sake!

Agreed, apologies for not having the answer to the problem Steve. I did read your post but couldn't answer it. May I suggest also trying on SELOC next time as there's a broader breadth of more technically minded readership on there more regularly.

Having a dig at the regulars on here is not the way to endear yourself.

If people can help, they will.

Plus, Jim (321 Freeflow) is THE exhaust king. No point in anyone else commenting when he's already done it!

OK, enough berating the guy please gang. Group hug, and lets get back to being mates again.

Let's all remember that this is a community of fellow enthusiasts - it's easy to write something online that could be taken the wrong way, or which could upset people when you don't mean to.

Likewise we need to respect each other and avoid inflammatory posts. If you need an answer faster, or are desperate to help, just BTT the thread and I'm sure it'll get the attention and response you need.
