I assume this is a private joke because I haven't a clue what you lot are on about!!! :huh:

It's not just you.

Do you not know anyone who welds?  Some pipe + flange + welder = new section.

I've no idea what the joke is, but I'm guessing someone's removed your centre silencer and replaced with a pipe for a meatier sound.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

That's what is confusing! I still have my centre silencer, rear silencer and back box! My set up doesn't look like any of the digrams so hard to source OEM replacement! I'm to get local to weld a new piece onto the part that came off. At least it's a cheap option if not OEM!

Like I said in the PMs Paul,

The Manifold and downpipe are Raceland.

The center section is OEM (As far as I now!)

The back box is a stainless aftermarket of unknown origin.

If I remember right the flange on the right of the pic was welded to the pipe to give a flange to bolt the downpipe too. You just need a replacement made up.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

At least it does away with that stupid sleeve setup that always blows

All sorted now!! :smiley: A local custom exhaust shop welded a new piece onto the old pipe for £30. Not too bad. I must have come close to shattering a few windows driving it up there though! :grin: Thanks to everyone who helped. :wink:
