    well you can either cut off the bracket and manufacture a new one and weld that on or go to the scrapies, find an exhaust with the same bracket and weld than on.

    easy enough.

    ball ache tho.

    if its new then surely you should be curious as to why its snapped/corroded so fast?

    you've snapped the flange or the cups that go in the holes?

    I've seen things like this happen. Sometimes the bolts pull through. Get some more cups and push them into the supersprint. Its not a flaw of the supersprint pipe by the sounds of things.

    i see it all the time in work! the kit just wears out and pulls through the cups.

    There are big holes in the flange. An exhaust fitting kit has a cup that sits inside. Its simply pushed in place and is easy to replace.
