    Posted a thread earlier about removing scratches, so headed up to the shop, traffic so went do a u-turn and Bang!. I hit my exaust off the curb. I jammed it back, bending the bar and breaking the joint between the bar and exhaust box. It was badly erroded already.

    I dont think its too bad. The brackets are broke so looking for a cheap place to repair it or else il probably be hitting the scrapyard

    Anyone recommend a place to get ir repaired cheap? Around the Dublin area?

    Almera 02 hatchback not a stock exaust on it. Pipe comes out past the bumper thats how it got pushed back

    Is it an aftermarket exhaust that was on it or?

    Looks like a stock box but with just a bigger pipe on it. I onlt bought the one

    So it's just the backbox that's damaged then, I'd be lookin at a scrapyard for that. Just make sure there's no rust and both brackets are still there, assuming it has 2?

    I had a quick look there. The pipe is a bit damaged but i think i could fix it myself. So the problem is the joint between the pipe and box.
    Im thinkink if i took two brackets off pipe in a scrap yard then weld them on?
    No both bracket bars came off to, so could cut them off too and weld them on?

    Well you've said it was rusted through, so welding might not do much, check out prices on a backbox and then decide.
