    Bugger. Does anyone make a Scooby exhaust that doesn't crack somewhere?

  3. Can you sleeve it somehow until you can get a replacement?
     
  4. Is it a common problem?

    Seems to be. T3s suffer as well

  6. Just to console @scrooge95 - my rear end was popping a bit yesterday. But do I care?

  7. Well. That's a bit better. Bit of a contrast to the KlokkerKrap ones.

    The question is - Is it made to fit
    a) a proud German van (the green cut off bit) or
    b) a Brazzy imposter! (the grey whole one).
    IIRC it's about half an inch difference at the worst end so a tape measure should reveal... if your other one hasn't fallen off too.

    Not obvious but the green bit is all there heightwise and as inside the grey one, the difference doesn't look quite as big as it is.

  11. They're the correct size for a German van.

    wish I’ve seen that 6 months ago when I fitted one of the crap ones.

    Might have to chop it out as I’m not happy with it.

    That's good news, I know I'm a cynic but it would have been typical.

  14. If you can bear to rip it out, I'd say go for it. There's no comparision in quality to the KlokkerKrap ones. Which side did you change?

    Nearside even though I spent ages chopping and hitting it my skill level just wasn’t up to getting right and frustration took over so just bodged it on

  16. Does look like a tricky repair.
     
  17. That’s not too bad
    Well What you need is a couple of jubilee clips a pilchard tin and some gun gum … that’ll sort that Nipper
    :thumbsup:

  18. It’s easier to solve a rubix cube whilst blindfolded than it is to fit those klocker ones
    And make it look reasonable.

  19. I bought a set in a moment of madness, just to see what they were like. Even after a prolonged session of prising, hammering and panel beating, I still couldn't get them to fit together. I came to the conclusion that they don't.

    I did the same, they don't fit together and neither fits the bus, I wasted a whole morning trying but unlike Matty I crushed them flat with a lump hammer - that felt good and was surprisingly easy.

    These look like the profiles might match at the join.
