hi

 

Hope someone can offer pragmatic advice...

The exhaust system on my 2008 Scout Tdi has started to blow slightly.

Checked it this morning to find the weld to the rear of the first silencer box (nearest propshaft) has cracked.

On the Scout the exhaust is in 2 parts, the front DPF section with a long straight pipe, when then meets up with the second piece comprising of a centre and rear silencer (both silencers = one piece with no join between them).

 

Took the car the local tyre/exhaust centre to be told that they do not have the part listed so said it was manufacturer only part.

They helpfully suggested I took it to another local garage/exhaust specialist to see if the joint could be welded, did this but they said unfortunatley not, but said they could remove the silencer and replace it with a straight pipe.

I didn't like this idea.

 

With this in mind, is my only option to buy the complete OEM rear section?

 

Thanks in advance.

Could you get a Stainless system fabricated? A bit far for you, but in my neck of the woods Tony Banks in Leeds comes highly recommend.
