Mmmm, clean car, stick me down as a definite spectator.
Just to warn everybody that I MAY be an epic failure.
Sorry, but I smashed my exhaust on a 'bollard' and it doesn't sound too healthy (even after half a tub of exhaust paste) so I'm having a bit of a sulk.
I'll keep you informed.
Inform Kosta in plenty of time, we might have to cancel without you there dear boy

It's over a week away, plenty of time to order a new one (or a second hand one if you are a cheapskate
).

I was thinking M1/M40 but its a long way.

Problem is that I really don't want to stick a standard system back on the car, so I'm staring down the barrel of a £600+ bill for a replacement system. I'd sooner sell it to be honest.
Like I said, I may come along and run. I just need to monitor things, maybe get it on a ramp again and most importantly stop sulking before I decide for sure. Right now I want to cut my losses and get rid

I'm curious to know how you've managed to trash an entire exhaust system in one go.
Mine consists of at least 5 pieces, how can yours be a total loss?

You need a full system? How long was this bollard and how much damage is done!!!!
If you can't get a 2nd hand exhaust and would rather sell, maybe you can't afford to run it

It's like.. over a week away, just get a new exhuast
You are right - I am over reacting. It is a bi-product of the sulking
.I had it up on a ramp at work and visually it is okay (apart from the flange and a few inches backwards on the pipe where the 'bollard' connected). My thought is maybe the impact could have dislodged a baffle(s) in the silencer(s) or something to that effect. It was quite a nasty hit. 15-20MPH and a real loud thud. I don't think it sounds blatantly wrong but It doesn't sound like it did and it winds me up. Slightly more noise and the burble doesn't seem deep enough

I've been eyeing up a few other cars over the past couple of days, this is the sort of excuse I need to justify changing cars

Good to see you taking my comment as intended
Sounds a bit of a weird one, Are there any breaks in the seals between the sections due to bending etc?
or just buy something else

You drove into a bollard at 20mph and theres no visual damage? By bollard do you mean a drain cover, and by 20mph do you mean 2mph?

All of the joins seemed air tight

That's a battle in itself. I still don't know if I want a relaxed luxo barge (XJ8) or a force inducted 0-60 in 5 seconds old rocket (MR2 Turbo). Ideally I get both in the form of an odd XJR but I can see insurance being a bit of a stumbling block. Oh, and there is a nagging voice in the back of my head that says that I can't really afford mental cars without mum around and that I should get something sensible to get me to work and back cheaply. I think some people call that voice 'Responsibility' but I'm doing my hardest to ignore it
It wasn't really a bollard, just something that sticks up out of the ground a couple of inches for the gate. I remember thinking 'That's perhaps a bad idea' but my colleagues got over it fine so I thought I'd be okay. Of course they've got normal cars and I've got a Soarer with a 35mm+ drop. Just a dent and bit of paint transfer, nothing that could really cause the exhaust note to go out of whack.
Come on. You should know what I'm like by now
.Hahaha
Insert Sarcasm smilie in previous post.
sorry i dont get it?
has to be the tailpipe? it was a ballard.
