Exhaust help

[langy88]

My exhaust has droped about 100mm ish but the hanger seem to be ok. What could it be. Rubber hangers stretched?

Check all rubbers are present and in tact then replace them with some better ones from kamracing/eBay/halfords if needs be :)

I'll have a look but I think there ok. Ive checked the the one nearest the spare wheel and that's fine.

Cheers for the help

Either the metal hangers are broken, bent or snapped off or the standard mounts are starting to sag with age.
The Motorsport exhaust mounts (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-exhaust/gaskets-and-fittings/kam-racing-motorsport-exhaust-mounts-citroen-saxo.html) we sell are much stronger so are more resilient.

Cheers. I don't have much money untill I get payed. Would it be ok for about 10days?

[KamRacing]

probably. Not many completely fail

I know a fair few people warn you away from um but when it's free at a place like kwik fit to check and get up on some ramps, you mites as well get it checked by them as we can only second guess :).

Same thing happened to me but didn't realize until i got it up on some ramps that the hanger had ripped off the bottom leaving a 2 pence size hole underneith my backbox :O.
Don't listen to their advise tho when you know what the problem is... They said scrap it and offered me a new one, mate welded the hanger back in place which in turn welded the hole back up :D

Yer I just took a photo of the underbody of my car and I'm don't think the back box is attached to the centre section

Look just behind the backbox.

Lmao sorry to sound rude but.. your backbox/centre pipe connection is completely shot, it's snapped off mate, doesnt your car sound like a tractor by any chance?.

[langy88]

Fuck that's what I though. It's alittle raspy but I only thought it was a small hole thats what it sounds like

[everlong11]

yeah, no second guessing any more... :P

[langy88]

Yer Tell me about it. How did this happen I've just had an MOT and I look after my car

[KamRacing]

It rusts. They will eventually fail. Held up for the MOT which is a good thing, but they can just snap as they weaken.

[langy88]

I need an exhaust. Should I go standard or get an updated full system? What would the price be new?

Check all rubbers are present and in tact then replace them with some better ones from kamracing/eBay/halfords if needs be :)

i like how you say better ones and then mention halfords lol

[langy88]

I've found out the problem. The back box wasn't attach due to rust and was hanging down

[KamRacing]

we saw the hole in the pictures...
