Muffler/Back Box seperated from rear pipe

[rb69]

Hi, I need some help fixing my exhaust. Basically the back box has become seperated from the rear pipe, the circular bit it attaches onto. It is a clean break and looks like the welds have just gone. What would be the best way to fix this. I tried quik steel but it was crap. Someone has recommended something called Dum Dum, would this work or will it need re-welding?

Cheers

Buy a new exhaust, gum gum wont sort it. A welder mabey could if theres still good metal to work with.

Great, didn't really want to have to buy a new system. With it being an Apexi system I take it just buying a new Muffler is out of the question?

could use a slightly larger peice of pipe and use it like a sleeve so weld either side, but youd have to have enough pipe to work with and the sleeve pipe would need to be a real good fit else itd just crack the welds again

if you put up a picture it wouldnt be hard to tell if its weldable or not is it rusted to pieces?

 

[rb69]

No its not rusted to pieces the metal is in good condition no corrosion. Here are some pics, I tried using quik steel on it with no joy.
