How can I fix this?
Hi
I need some technical advise on how to get my dads exhaust fixed. Its a peugeot 306 estate HDI and as you can see its rusted clean in half. Seems a very awkward place to break...hopefully it can be repaired as the rest of the exhaust is in pretty good condition. All advice welcome!

Looks like it will be a bit of a pain to repair as it looks very rusty on the break and with that flange there it would be difficult to sleeve the joint.
Have you priced up new parts - I was suprised how cheap some exhausts are - put a new backbox on my sisters corsa a couple of years ago and it was only £18!

I was hoping to get some sort of patch but it would have to support the weight of the exhaust. Ive seen quite a few cheap exhausts on ebay but would a centre section be able to attach to the rusted cat? its also a little bit shorter now to!

Baked bean can, exhaust putty and two exhaust clamps.
Proper way would be to obtain a piece of tube the right diameter (via the scrap metal skip behind kwik-fit
), chop grind, weld. Although if thats bit is wafer thin, it likely the rest of the section is as well so you'll be spending more time blowing holes with the welder than welding. (because its shiny on the outside doesn't mean its solid on the inside).
PS find a Bosal supplier. Nice and cheap.
