Well a couple off weeks ago, i started hearing some ratteling noises at the back off my car, when i gave some gas!

From my past experience from driving a Honda Del Sol (yes i know...a Honda! tongue) i instantly knew that it had to be my exhaust!

At first i thought the bolts had gone lose...however it turned out to be much MUCH WORSE!!! thumbsdown

Because of all the vibrations a welding had 'snapped' (see the unclear picture nr. 1)

It seems that the shop where they repainted my car and installed the kit and exhaust (normally i would have done that myself, but they where at it so i thought...let them install it also) forgot to put a rubber between the mounting place (of the exhaust) and chassis of the car! frown

4/6 To bad the welding didn't hold (we tried it 4 times, but everytime it snapped when we turned the bolts tight!) so we had to come up with another solution...
We took a piece of Alu and made a U-profile which we screwed (better than welding!)against the mounting of the exhaust

5/6 a rubber piece for between the chassis and the exhaust, one they should have used in the first place!!!

6/6 Of course this isn't the best solution...but i don't just want to throw away an exhaust that costs around 850,- (maybe in the future i will let it be welded by a prof, but for now...it's mounted perfect...and no more ratteling thumbsup)

Does your dad know how to do Argon welding? That's what Tanabe used on my TUM, so that's what you can try next time.

Nice exhaust thumbsup
