Welds look great quality!

Did you know, a small spot weld like that can hold nearly 500Kg without breaking.

Shame that theory went down the pan. Seen a few people having to have their hangers re-welded on the pug/saxsports.

Because of cyclic loading, John. The vibration over time cracks the very hard brittle metal caused by welding thin metal.

Basically, that means the whole exhaust flexes constantly, except around the welds. so they break.

All the more reason to stick 4 tiny daft little spot welds on.

End of topic.

It just looks wrong and discoloured and stuff. It would probably look ok on an average car.

If you were smart enough, you'd realise I'm saying your saxo is above average and I think the exhaust now lets it down. Yes discoloured, brownish colour.

Why are you getting so defensive?

Lol. From behind, unless i said "here, look under" you wouldn't notice a single difference from the old to the new. So what do you suggest dave? put the old tired one back on?

Why? because it's a 3 page moan about a bracket weld, that aint any different to any other exhaust.

Those welds look well shit.

Also your door is slightly the wrong colour and the car needs lowering.

Looks ten times better now there is no discolouration, and I think that takes your eye away from the welds, which now look fine.
