Title: blowing exhaust
Post by: Andy B on 01 March 2023, 18:09:17

I've noticed, but tried to ignore, that the exhaust on my Smart 451 has been blowing. Today, I eventually stuck my head under the back of the car today. To say it's blowing is an understatement! The flexi has practically parted company with the back box. And the remnants of the two bolts on the flange from the flexi to the rigid part of the exhaust don't look like they'll ever move.
MB only want £400+VAT  ??? I think I'll be looking for a replacement flexi ....  :y

Universal flex and weld it in.
