I am thinking of a sports exhaust - Milltek - but am based in France so it is not so easy to go and get one fitted with the necessary remap.

Suggestion

Hi, the straps are not easily replaceable as they run underneath some heat shields which won't come off easily!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Something that was picked up with my MOT today, one of the rear silencer exhaust straps was split right throught and the other one closely following. Is it an easy job to change myself and are the straps easy to source? (I knew I shouldn't have started looking at wheels).

POST 2Original post

Hi, the straps are not easily replaceable as they run underneath some heat shields which won't come off easily! The exhaust has to be removed. Post a picture up of it. Mike

POST 7Original post

Hi, yes those are the straps that are not easy and cheap to replace. Me personally I would get the straps TIG welded back together whilst still on the car. You may have to remove bumper and cut the securing bolt off the strap and replace it. The other option is to replace it BUT this is a real pain as the exhaust has to be removed and all heat shields which will cost a fair amount of money... If you are thinking of a sports exhaust then this is the ideal time! Mike

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the info Mike. Welding seems like a good idea. I am thinking of a sports exhaust - Milltek - but am based in France so it is not so easy to go and get one fitted with the necessary remap. Welding would give me more time. I assume the next drive out will be for the welding and no go until it is fixed? Does the exhaust look on it's last legs from the images? Also does the underneath look 'normal' I am an anorak for the upkeep of my car and the rusty bolts etc niggle me?

POST 9Original post

Hi, can't really see anything cleary on the pictures. Looks like the exhaust has been scraped along floor especially in area of clamp.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
