Bought my car today! drove it from bristol to glastonbury no problems how when i got onto my mates farm i had a little problem, my exhaust tail pipe came off from the pipe! I however dont know a lot about mechanic stuff but we thought we'd see whats going on underneath as we saw the tail pipe had come attached from the front mainly due to this part being comepltly eroded

As you can see its nearly all gone but also when we were underneath we were pretty sure that this part had been put on the wrong way round. (how the part in this picture is how i think it should be)

Yet it was attached the other way round.

Does anyone know which way is meant to be round and also what is the name of this part so i can get a replacement.... http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r83/peterrose1991/DSC03451.jpg

Sorry to sound really dumb but only got my car today for a start and dont know a lot about mechanics :(

You can buy the fixing kits for at least 11 quid i think! It will only work one way, I believe its the lip pointing towards the front of the car
