At that price. My mention of £70 might include the welding.

045 is sable - owned it for 13 years now

I measured an old one 50 x 100mm.   You can get a pair on ebay for about £20

Bit of work on here with tge search function will bring up those that have done it. Parts £70 springscto mind.

But maybe just a cats2you replacement and be done with it.

That was an option but just not sure of the parts, I couldn't get in when it was up on the ramp to take pictures

You can buy flexi's on ebay & get a welder to replace them.

I know, I need to block the tail pipes with a rag and check properly at the wknd. However wknd gone, I replaced a stud and nut on the 3 amigos and I cranked up some of the bolts on the manifold. So I know there are no leaks at the joints that would cause a rich ltft on bank 2 but.. the flexis are the only suspect thing before the sensor on bank 2 so my logic tells me it's got to be a leak at the flexis.

There are three oxygen sensors in the exhaust system, two of which monitor the fueling:
Sensor 1 Bank 1
Sensor 1 Bank 2

These are the ones above / before the pre cats, so a leak in the downpipe is very unlikely to have any effect on their readings. The third sensor after the main cat is for catalyst efficiency and a leak would possibly cause a code there, but not a bank 2 rich code.

Can you hear any exhaust blow?

Hey can I check which flexi's were perishing,I have the Twin TTE exhaust as well was it the one that bends into the cat?

I'm having issues at the moment... Been told the blow in mine is from.thst but it's integral to the cat and they will only do a full replacement... At £2380...not going to fly
