Zorst problem

So my raddo sounded alot louder 2day and i mean ALOT found this:

 

should i just push this back over and jubilee clip it ??

You could try that but I don't think it will stay on for long, as you'll only be attaching the flexi braded skin,

because it's the flexi joint in side the flexi braded skin that has snapped off,

so the exhaust will still be blowing.

 

I think once they've rusted and broken off you really nead to replace it with a new flexi section.

 

Or you could have it welded back on short term ?

So get a new one and it should just push over ? Or does it need welding on ?

Really you’ll have to purchase the exhaust down pipe or which ever part has gone.

 

I believe you might be able to purchase a universal replacement exhaust flexi joint,

they normally just need to be welded on which is a cheaper option then going for a new replacement down pipe.

But I don’t know how well these universal flexi joints fit, they should have a selection of sizes.

 

Most motor vehicle factors sell these universal exhaust flexi joints.

You will have to messure your exhaust I think most Corrado's are 1-1/4" or 54mm in diameter.

 

 

Or see if you can get hold of a good secondhand exhaust ?

What engine you got? I have a new DP for a late valver which I never fitted so is available should you need it. Will check the flexi bit is on there.

I've got the 1.8 16v

Jim take a look at this http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=corrado+1.8+exhaust&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=universal+exhaust+flexi+joints&_sacat=0

 

Loads of universal exhaust flexi joints for sale on Ebay,

sorry Jim thinking about it the standard diameter of the exhaust is 2-1/4" (54 mm) not 1-1/4" that I said originally.

 

But like I say you'll have to messure your old flexi joint that has snapped off from the down pipe,

may even have to messure the down pipe as well where the flexi joint has gone as it could be a little larger there.

 

The down pipe has two pipes at the top where it bolts to the exhaust manifold,

and then goes in to one where it was attached to the flexi joint.

You'll need the length, diameter, of your old flexi joint before you purchase a new one,

as there are different sizes.

 

 

Hope this helps.
