I see your new cat is from bandel automobiltechnik gmbh. I bought one there for, I think it was 199 euro. It was listed as being edelstahl on ebay, which I guesed was stainless steel, however it's not. It fitted perfectly but has allready a lot of rust after just 6 months.

Hello, Anders & Jack Daniels How are your Bandel exhaust? It is rusty? Last week I started to have problems, with my cat. The welded joint in the back of the catalytic converter has snapped. And ... I think I have a dead horse inside the pipes! I don't see the horse but his tail is coming out from the exhaust. Is this related to converter or it is the second problem with my exhaust?

Hi to all as this is my first post. I had this tail hanging out of my tail pipe, and I pulled it all out. It was only slightly sooty but there was so much of it. I was told it was the baffle material from the exhaust box. Just before I noticed it the car seemed to be struggling but after I pulled it out it was OK again and it would if this was blocking the pipe. The only problem now is the exhaust sounds rather noisy and as I have the MOT in the next week I’m worried it will fail because of this. So is it from the CAT or from the exhaust box and will it cause problems with the MOT on noise or emissions I’ll just have to wait and see?

e.space3, this is exactly where my original kat broke, the rest of it including the internals were ok. I did not manage to source the piece needed to match the middle joint. It should be possible to weld on a new piece here if you have the equipment to do so and the rest of the cat is ok. You'd maybe have to cut the special flange off the front of the middle piece. .
