#1: Exhaust strap / bracket Author: kevbeans, Location: southportPosted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 6:36 am ---- The strap which goes round my manifold has snapped. Just been to peugeot and been told it comes as part of the manifold at £130! Is there an aftermarket part or is it a case of welding bits on, not got a welder so would be easier for me to buy a new strap. This has probably been covered loads of times in the past but using the net via my phone so can't search.

Back box has a metal strap around it which fixes to the exhaust hanger, bottom part of this 'strap' is corroded.

That strap is joined to the back box

yeah dunno why i put manifold. So no one makes an aftermarket strap. Seems crazy to have to spend £130 on a backbox just because the bit which fixes it to the car has failed.
Guess I'll be looking for a local welder.

#7: Re: Exhaust strap / bracket Author: paul_c, Location: UKPosted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 7:34 am ---- Does a back box really cost £130? I'd have thought a more realistic price would be £25-£40. I imagine if the strap has snapped off due to corrosion, the rest of the exhaust system won't be much better?

Peugeot/most main dealer prices for any part of the exhaust system is quite high.
Save up and buy a nice cat back exhaust system?

There is likely no difference in quality between the Peugeot-supplied exhaust and a decent one from an exhaust centre - except the price.

Or try this seller on ebay ive used these before for the van and highly recomend them
#11: Re: Exhaust strap / bracket Author: pug-206-boy, Location: Eastbourne, East SussexPosted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 10:50 am ---- do you mean like the little metal arms that come off the backbox and go on the rubber mounts??
#12: Re: Exhaust strap / bracket Author: kevbeans, Location: southportPosted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 10:55 am ---- Cheers Dutch, I'll see what price he can dfo one for and also have a look round local exhaust places. No point getting any kind of sports exhaust as i've only got a 1.4 hdi van!
#13: Re: Exhaust strap / bracket Author: paul_c, Location: UKPosted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 11:26 am ---- If its simply the metal rod, then plenty of places can sell metal rod for you. For example, B&Q. However, you'll want it welded to the back box or pipe, whereever it is; and probably bent to shape too. If there's enough clean metal to weld a new support to, then a welder will have no problems doing it. They might be able to do a repair at a local garage, for example. The danger is the cost of their time will exceed the cost of a new backbox. If you can weld yourself, then no worries. I could do it for you but I imagine the travel costs to-from Southport (35 miles each way) would make it not worthwhile. Also it would have to be a dry day, I'm not welding in the rain!
#14: Re: Exhaust strap / bracket Author: Dutch-HDi, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 11:37 am ---- think the OPs on about a metal band (strap) that goes round the back box then onto the hangers have used them many times on diffrent cars but havnt changed the 206 backbox myself would imagine should be able to find something at the local fitters that would adapt
