centre pipe (again)....
I have been meaning to do something with it... Ive tried the weld fix but I dont think we welded it too good it just cracked in half, obviously not as good with these things as rstoughy is
You can get centres without silencers on ebay. Is it better to go OEM for them to rust again or get something like the X pipe (1 tube) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E46-M3...item25758d2b41 or twin tube http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-M3-E46...item1e67d59406 |

Hahaha
Send it up Steve and I'll whack a clamp on for ya Other and probably easier option is to use one of these in the correct size. Just leave out the Inserts. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-V-Band...10422203774%26 Quote:

thanks for the link Paul.
its the steel what rusts Shimmy, the bit where the bolts go through and pulls it together to the back box, I bought a new (whatever they are called) and cut it in half and welded the cut back up, it lasted a while but did snap off, I know my description is crap, I should have just done a search for Pauls thread |

Just use the Peugeot 63mm clamps.......cutters has a recent thread which seems to be a great explanation but I'm not longer able to log on there.
