Okay - as mentioned in my creaking suspension thread, had to crawl under car today to have a look at the exhaust anyway.
This is the problem there...
There is a split/crack along the seal in the back box.. and
a bit of a hole in the other side of the back box. If I poked and wiggled my finger on that rusty patch I could make a substantial hole...certainly in the middle bit, large enough to get my thumb through.
Had a look along the rest of the exhaust and it is fine & dandy.
Plan on doing a stainless system in the fullness of time... but meantime
a) would some of the patching gam/paste/resin and or tape be any use to buy me some more time?
b) could I do stainless backbox at the moment - and get rest of system added on in time.. (even though that would be more expensive)?
c) For all it would cost - replace the backbox with a 'normal' run-of-the-mill one for now and get the stainless system in a couple of months?
cheers, 8)
