flexi

Postby raeside01 on Mon Jan 21, 2008 4:44 pm

my 2.2 B series fronty has a hole in the exhaust flexi?

the garage want about £100 to fix it but I wondered if they were expensive and how hard would it be to fit myself??

I like the concept of learning about my fronty so that I can do repairs myself, Also like the idea of saving the cash :lol:

thanks guys!!

From memory these are welded.........

Probably not too hard to cut the old one out and weld a new one in, however it helps if you have a welder and a rough idea of how to use it......

Have a look here exhaust

They are welded, so £100 sounds reasonable.

This guy on ebay is very good for Fronty exhausts: SDN

100 quid sounds way over the top to me.
Go to an independent exhaust place, (the ones that custom build stainless systems etc) and get them to weld a new bit in.

a think I will try such a place, only problem being is that I am from Johstone (in Scotland) but work in portsmouth.

I leave my car in portsmouth at the weekend wen I travel home. I will need to try find an honest local place that could give me a price!!

thanks again guys!!
