Silencer flange

[Spumkosteve]

I've just failed my mot because I had exhaust gasses pissing out all over the show through the join between my silencer and the turbo exhaust section. Upon closer examination and disassembly, the (cast) flange that was welded to the silencer has corroded badly and come adrift. Has anyone experienced this and, if so, is there any advice about oxy acetylene welding of cast flanges or do you think I need a new silencer.

Thanks.

Hi

My hubby replaced my silencer and kept the old one. (too lazy to throw it away) as you are only in reading you are welcome to pop by and have a look to see if it would help as material to cannibalise for yours.

PM if you would like to

Got exactly the same problem (amongst others:))- decided cheapest option was to order a new stainless steel system

Definately thinking down that route slightly longer term but would like a cheaper short term fix while I work out the winning lottery numbers...
