i had a bmw 318i k reg with a blowing exhaust didn't look too bad at first but once taken off was much worse than i thought...............
a quick look inside revealed all the baffles rusted through
so............ in for a penny in for a pound lol
all the inside totally rusted through and all the wadding pushed to the back blocking the tail pipe
was a bit beyond rebuilding the baffles so ......
straight through lol
started to make good the ends (i know it look a bit rough) was ground and painted anyway
used the thin metal technique from the tutorial pages to rejoin the silencer body up again
quickly patched up anopther blow by the support
i'm sure i should of been a plastic surgeon lol
new back box would of cost £70 from ebay or 130 from local exhaust specialist it sounds a bit rorty now and car sold 2 days later lol
