Exhaust clamps-done

We used to do that. Cut the pipes flush with the rear box, and one of the centre pipes. The new flanges do not come in the correct size though, as the pipes are 2 different diameters. So even the BMW flanges have to be machined out.

Its quite labour intensive too, drop the whole exhaust, cut and re-weld the pipes. And you are only replacing the flanges like for like, so chances are they will crack again!

No worries, I'll update a picture tomorrow. I'll check what the current price is too.
