Exhaust Downpipe snapped from manifold connection

[wurlycorner]

It is difficult to see but i think the back box might be ok but the centre section is goosed

Doh! Yep, you're right, centre section to re-weld to the flange or replace, not the back back... (I picked the wrong side of the flange) The rest stands though...

So its the midsection pipe that has snapped? Not the downpipe? (the downpipe is the bit that goes underneath the engine).

@Peachy If it is the midsection I have a one in good condition that I am looking to unload for cheap.

You could get your local garage to fit that in no time.

It is difficult to see but i think the back box might be ok but the centre section is goosed (from the 2nd picture). If so then you'll probably either need to repair that or just get a new centre section (bit between backbox and catalytic convertor). It'll fail its MOT, but I'd drive it to get it repaired (if the plod pulled me I'd tell them I'm where I'm going). Any good exhaust fabrictors around your way?

Not entirely sure tbh, will have to have a look in yellow pages

Thanks Merlin, do you mind if I get back to you on that? Currently have lack off money-but may have some more in the next few days matey.

Sure thing. It's not going anywhere.

Yeath. As most people know on this forum by now, my knowledge is next to zero on preludes and cars. Doesn't stop me loving em though! :
