Talking

I've got a Magnex twin dump downpipe that knocks because someone has cut the bracket off that pushes it away from the gearbox side of the car. Does anyone know anyone with a welder or access to a welder that can weld stainless steel bits together and who doesn't charge too much to do it?

Failing that does anyone want to buy a downpipe minus the bracket cause it knocks on my car?

Hi mickle
magnex are usually a terrible fit the bracket is usually cut off to allow the pipe to clear the bulk head, this is where they usually knock. Will be happy to reweld if you have the parts.

1 day too late!

Thanks STD but I sold the pipe last night to someone who can hopefully do more with it that I was able to. It was knocking on the gearbox mount for me I have just found out. The chap that now has it has a Magnex centre and BB so hopefully he'll be fine.
