Hi all
The cat back part of the exhaust broke in half so I got hold of a second hand exhaust to keep me going till I can get a new one but I have noticed the join where the back box meets the cat is blowing.
I got a pic of it to show what im on about and a pic of the join of the cat to the downpipe to show the difference.
I know the flange on the exhaust is bent but is the flange on the cat also bent? and if it is would I need to buy a new one to remedy it?

I would think you might get away with a gasket and some exhaust 'putty' , it may make up the 'gap' worth a try .
