If the rest of your genuine rear silencer is intact I'd weld a new hangar on or get an exhaust place to do that.________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

That's odd. Have you been trying normal garages? A custom exhaust fabricating shop should be more willing to do it for you?The genuine silencers are really good so it's worth trying to get some more life out of if you can. Got any mates who can weld? ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Thanks RetroPug, you encouraged me to ring around again.Called my usual garage and its booked in Saturday morning, don't know why I didn't call him first. The exhaust guys (even those who fabricate whole systems) didn't want to know. They didn't even recommend one of their systems???? |

No worries.That's odd as there's a really well known exhaust place nearish to me that did loads of little jobs for me before I bought a welder. I guess I had already had had a custom centre-section made up by them and given them some bigger business though. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Don't ask, not impressed with the custom places  However my local added a new mount and swapped me wheels round (fronts really low). I then said how much did he want and he said not to worry!!!! Exhaust is currently not hitting anything so I'm a happy man |
