ive recently had a new exhaust on my skoda felicia 1.3 by a garage but it has go a different fitting to the original exhaust, i know spare parts are generalized when not genuine but it looks a bit dodgy no circlips holding it

and it has a tie wrap to stop it sliding, supposivly.

i think i would be more concerned about the dodgy welding on the tail pipe.bill

I had one like that that was just a plain round bar to go through the rubber but never had any problems. Those circlips are a PITA so I never bother and also used cable ties.

Agreed on the welding though... looks like there's a gap!

Bad mountings? Dodgy welding? You should see the ultra-bodge tailpipe mine had when I bought it!

Given that this had managed to stay on with no circlips or cable ties and badly-fitting hacked up mounting rubbers from some other car entirely, I wouldn't worry much about yours

What you can't see in the picture is the Ford logo on the silencer

wouldn't worry about those rubber mounts having no circlips.. it's unlikely to fall offf tbh...

the welds on that silencer look like a perfectly normal production weld to me.
