I’m over the moon if this solves my problem. :-)

My offer on the eBay exhaust has been accepted so part should be with me this week. Then we shall see

Wonder how the hell that happened - looks like the inner skin of the pipe is indented?? Great if that’s solved the issue though!!

Ebay is saying expected delivery Tuesday, so hopefully will know shortly after that

The “new” Number 3 exhaust should arrive today and hopefully will cure my fault, however, looking ahead, my old silencer part looks in better condition that the one I’m waiting on.

Has anybody successfully joined a downpipe to a silencer and if so how? I was thinking of an external collar possibly welded?

Any thoughts?

Eureka! Exhaust arrived, fitted it, transformed. So much power now that the clutch is slipping but setting that up correctly will fix that. Over the moon. Now I just need the good weather.

I’m going to cut up the old pipe to see what has gone on inside there.

Not a lot I could've done with this

[jon stead]

Thanks to everybody for their advice and encouragement this last two years.

Four summers I’ve missed, chasing various faults but on a hiding to nothing with that lurking in the exhaust.

Can’t wait for this summer now.

I wonder how the inside pipe ended up like that?. Summers not far away in the great scheme of things.

[K2-K6]

Wow! Well done for finding that Jon, who'd have believed it could be like that inside.

Looks like it's been like that from production process.

At least you'll be ready early for next summer now 

[Johnwebley]

as they say WoW !!

  guess it was an assembly fault for double skinning ,

  glad its sorted ,go and enjoy !!!
