182 exhaust snapped what's my options?

[leeflavell]

Today when sat at some traffic lights my exhaust decided to snap just behind the cat, I only lived a few minutes away so I crawled home. Do you think I need to buy the full rear exhaust or have I got other options? Thanks

Weld or replace.

De-cat

Is that the original exhaust? Impressive if so. You might be able to get just a centre section. But you may be better off seeing if anyone has a second hand stainless system for sale.

Yes it's the original, I like the loudness off this and don't really want to head down the loud route. I will see if anyone has a centre section or might have to bite the bullet thanks

is it at the cat that's broken?

Or centre section?

The cat is at the right in the picture so it's the centre section I think

Clean all the welds put a small sleeve inside each broken end and weld that way it's not a button weld and will be solid
