Flexi joint between cats is blowing badly

Has anyone successfully used a clamp on replacement flexi on a 2.2 as it seems very close to the cat?

Also can someone confirm diameter required is 51mm and length required.
TIA

Clamp on's are no good, get a weld on and get someone to weld it for you. You need 51mm x 100mm flexi

Thanks for that, will get the flexi and search for a local welder

same thing with mine a month ago to be honest i just changed the cat less hastle and not that expensive
cat was type aproved and was 160 quid if you start welding flexi hoses its gonna take a bit of time and will most likely leak after a month

I disagree

After market cats are more trouble than they are worth, rarely last, are noisier and low quality.

Having done two of these repairs now, they are about an hours work, do not leak (if you know how to use a welder) and you retain an excellent quality cat setup

Best way to improve your welding, buy a ford. Ask Tonygnome.
