the pipe where it enters the backbox doesn't look to good either

big hole innit, on the c-types there is a bracket there

cleaned up the pipe to silencer area, not to clever

went round the back looking for some metal to patch with, an old cat hetshield was my chosen thingy, I then chopped a bit out and belted it with a mallet to flatten it

tried to clean up the pipe, more I cleaned the more vanished

anyway after flicking weld onto it as welding directly blew holes in the metal I got a patch on, fpmsl, it looks awful but it stayed on despite picking with a screwdriver

same at the pipe to silencer split

to finish off slap paste on it

back together and its silent! bodge but it worked! Its startign to fail again though, its done a few hundred miles since though.
I did go roudn and check the 16V back box but the pipe fitte dinside the 16V pipe, flange and all! So it can wait until the 16V system is put on when its turbo'd. |
