"censored" flexi

Post by Sonac »

Blown the flexi on my B pipe. It's a JDM sheepdog exhaust so a custom pipe/
It's curved so I can't chop it off and put a clamp flexi on.
I can't weld for "censored".
Mechanic quoted me 2 hours labour. So after VAT over 100 quid without the part even.

What are my options? Exhaust shop? Was hoping for something under 100 preferably.

*note the oil is not a leak. I didn't have a funnel when I filled my oil and made a mess. I'll clean it when I can be "censored"

You get what you pay for. The garage has to remove the exhaust, cut and weld a new flexi in. £100 for 2 hours labour isnt bad providing they do a good job.
Doubt you will get it done properly for much cheaper

+1

but if you remove and fit it yourself then the cost is only cut out and welding of new flexi
