   Just wondering if anyone else has had this?
   
   Just randomly snapped near the backbox end around 3 years old.
   
   £85.00 new from kam racing to last 3 years, sure the standard exhaust lasted longer, hey ho.

   it you have a track car, the heat it getting will be higher which could cause this.

   Snapped in the same place, did you bin it i was thinking of welding it up but for the sake of £30-£40 for a new one its probably not worth it.

   What mounts do you run on it? Could be bouncing around which is fatiguing the metal, obviously plus the heat aspect too
