Title: Flexi Joint
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 02 June 2008, 22:12:11

my 2.0 has a blowing cat at the flex joint - anyone aware of the size so I can order a replacement?

Anyone? :'(

There are lots on ebay for about £7, but I don't know what size to get..

From what I remember of the underside of Marie's car it is quite short - no more than 75-100 mm, I'd say. Not sure of pipe diameter though. Probably best to measure that.

Something like this looks good

Wonder if I'd have to cut the exhaust, though?

I would get one that's very slightly longer than the current one so you can cut the current joint out and weld the replacement onto virgin pipe either side of the previous section, IYSWIM.

I've got my old exhaust sitting in my garage.  I can't find my bloody tape measure though.  I'll have a look and if I find it I'll post you the measurements a bit later on.
