Thought it was weird I couldn't hear the stereo properly...


I assume it's just going to be a new back box?
How unsafe is it to drive till its fixed. Just happened this minute in the drive home.

looks more like you will need the center section the backbox maybe ok
well you could use some wire to hold it all up but personly i would only do that to get me to a garage

you will use more fuel but if its not scraping the floor i wouldnt worry too much, might get pulled if its too loud but i doubt it.
looks more middle section that will have gone, i would replace the lot tbh

I always thought the back box had the pipe coming out the back attached, so is that bit the middle section.
Mechanical noob lol

Be about £15 for the new pipe and p**s easy to do yourself if you have the right tools.

When you fit a new bit exhaust to old one they never fit right for that long they blow or snap pretty quick. Thats just from my experience tho
