My 350's back box is blowing at the usual joint and rather then going to the hassle of sleeving it or the expense of buying new I thought I'd try here!

Cash waiting. Collection preferred, the closer to basingstoke the better but if the price is right and you'll ship I'll be interested!

Cheers

Are you sure its the box and not the final length of tube that swan necks over the the rear axle ?

If its the latter i had the same issue some 4 months or so ago and my local garage kindly took it apart, welded and refitted for £60.

Worth a go..

Mine went just after the flange - part of the back box.

Another thing to consider is that if it has only gone on one side of the flange, you will need to be very careful how you remove the offending piece as you may very well break the other ('good') side in the process. It will no doubt be a bit of a pain to get off and may well need some carefully timed DIY-tourettes to see you through!

Mines gone just after the flange as well (Back box side), I've done a temp fix with some gum gum but I keep blowing it back out when I use the right foot a little to hard.

I've looked at sleeving it but the centre section seems fine so dont really want to go to the trouble of doing that. If needs be I'll just have to go stainless.

Cheers for the responses so far!!

I've managed to pick up a full system cat back on Ebay for pennies so no longer after one.

Mike,
What one did you go for & how did the install go?
I'm in the same position as you with a blow from the rear backbox flange area.

Am considering the scorpion but I do like the looks of the toyosports ones ( that have reported fitting issues) - I'm wondering how bad they are, is it a lot of work to readjust hangers etc?

Thanks,
John

I just bought a used standard system mate, low miles and should last me a few years. Not been fitted yet but is going on this Friday. Can't wait to hear the V6 burble rather then the aweful blow I have at the moment! Hopefully with the exhaust done and some irridium plugs going in she'll be running sweet again
