cat to centre blowing

[barker22]

hey guys is there any other way to stop this other than a new clamp and lots of sealant. because surely even a new exhaust would still do it.

New cat/decat? Not many other options tbh, where's it blowing from and why?

Tighten the clamp or is it fukd?

common fault due to s**tty design and crap clamps. Be suprised if the mani/cat join isn't blowing slightly too.

I bought an uprated clamp from eBay, adjusted the exhaust and fitted the new clamp and this sorted my leaking problems.

The OE clamps are shite!

I've got a leak from downpipe to cat and cat to centre section.

There's always an issue, had my Cat to centre done 3 times and it keeps going, gotta sort my downpipe to cat one with new fitting kit!

wel to be fair it was blowing then a new clamp and sealant sorted it for weeks, then i caught a low speed bump with the clamp (the bolt on the clamp bent and cracked the sealant) so it started blowing again. i then just wolloped a load of sealant around it which sorted it for 2 days. do ya reckon a new clamp is needed as i battered the old 1. there can be much more i can do surely. clamp is £3 btw so no biggie.

inspect the end of the cat. not unusual for them to crack next to the clamp

Mine was cracked by the clamp. Cost me £10 to have it removed, welded and refitted
