My exhaust exploded!

Zip · 19 Jul 2009 at 13:37

The other week whiule changing down my exhaust made a back fire. So loud i could feel it.

And after that my car sounded like a beast

Then it did it again and got even more louder last week :eek:

Then i got pulled by the police and told if he sees it again and its not fixed ill get a defect due to it being unsafe incase the emmission get into the cab.

So we took the exaust of expecting a crack or a small hole and found this :eek:

My exaust had exploded right down the seam! Could fit your hand in it

So to fix it what we did is cut the broken half off with an angle grinder, cut up a metal panel from an old harvester and welded it on to replace the part we cut off

Exhaust fixing farm style!

Now after having it so loud for so long and now it being quiet again there are less smiles per mile

Actually some how every thing inside survived fairly well

And i still use that very same exhaust, Although its top is now red and has 380 on it in big numbers
