Noticed that my exhaust has gained in grunt so had a look under the car, where the pipe enters the backbox has corroded and theres a gaping break at least half wa y round the pipe circumference.

 

I dont really want to replace it as its a lush HKS Hipower.

 

Does anyone know if it is repairable?

got it off magic torch last year, not sure if it was fully stainless. was a tad surprised but not sure if i can claim on warranty, was thinking an exhaust company may be able to weld it back up

 

It will depend how bad the rot is, but most can be welded up again. One tip though - if the break is bad then try and get them to tack it while it's still on the car, if it's not in the correct position when doing the final weld it might not fit correctly.

Just looked up your system and its mild steel with a stainless back box, is it 3" or 4" going into the back box?

 

With it been like that you might be better going to somewhere like Elite and get a sleeve made depending on how bad its corroded
