Exhaust Hole?

How does it sound?
It was a bit louder inside the cabin, but that was possibly due to me fitting Powerflex bushes at the same time. Not that much different from outside.
No, pick-up was slightly better, but again that could have been due to me fitting Powerflex bushes at the same time.
Just for confusion - I'll add that when I fitted Toyo manifold only: I thought low down pull suffered and was worse than standard.
Of course I have no figures to back that up. Just how it felt to me. I then fitted the system and had the lot remapped as I'd always intended.
Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear.

Would not go with a Toyo, mine has just blown an hole somewhere just before the flex on the drop section, sick of the car now, costing to much on stupid simple things....
100% a Toyo.....?
1./ Because apart from the slight fitment / subframe knocking issue i've seen no reports of bad build quality as such.
2./ There other Toyo 'copies' out there. (Toyo's have a badge on stating "TOYO").
Apart from anything else though. What a friggin pain. Is it somewhere someone could get in and TiG weld the hole closed ?
UPDATE: We replaced both flexi joints. He did a really sweet job on both. Car feels great now and is a lot quieter. On the down side the car is a lot quieter! Decided to go with the repair option because at this point I really don't see myself keeping this car too much longer, as its starting to cost more than its worth. Thanks all for your help. This forum is a god send.

Good cop
Good to hear you got it sorted, though I imagine at a fair old cost!
They are very expensive cars to own when it comes to maintenance... I've never added up what I've spent on it over the time I've had it - there's no point, it wouldn't achieve anything.
It still costs me less than buying a replacement car that would make me as happy as the Clio does as a performance car.

As just stayed in my "dipstick" post I may of jumped the gun regarding the Toyo manifold, I removed the PCV valve last night and I think this may of dripped some oil on the manifold so when I started the car tonight after fitting new valve there was quite a lot of smoke although it disappeared after the the manifold was hot so i think/hope it was just smoke/fumes off that....
Sorry to scare anyone!
