Tbh my suggestion is to not go at all. They don't get on and this is one of those daughterly duty kind of things. I know the exhaust would have embarrassed swmbo.

Anyway. Bodge is in place and working. High temp sealant (1200c this time) plus tin sleeving and jubilee clips *proper job*  ::)

Yeah Jimmy, looks good, trouble is with exhausts is that it just goes to the next weak spot and blows there. Hope it lasts long enough to let you do what you have to do. :y

Cheers Ronny.

Yup, getting under there it's pretty clear that the front part of the exhaust needs swapping out. Think I'll try the link above and keep my old cat as a spare.

When changing it, On the rear flange, does anyone know if it's sealed with paste, or is it a crush -type gasket?
