    m10 exhaust questions

    So on my way home from school for the summer my rubber exhaust hanger broke while driving on the interstate causing my supersprint rear box to drag for a while (unknowingly) untill the rusty pipe gave way and it flew off.

    Long story short I am not sure if the supersprint is still usable or not, the underside is gouged and scraped all to hell, and about 1 foot of my center section broke off with the muffler. along the bottom there is a crack running down about 1/3 of the middle. I think I can see some of the wool soundproofer in there.

    I dont have access to a welder so I cant make one myself, and I am sure any exhaust shop in town will make me a connector pipe, they would rather just order the stock piece again, which I dont want. My cat is going bad anyways so I may as well fix it all right now.

    Does any any company make a track pipe or catless center section for the m10 e30, or is there one that would fit? Will my supersprint still be ok to use? And is there a way to seal the crack back up without welding?

    It is hard to buy a straight pipe to replace your cat because of government stuff. The only way unless your dad runs a speedy muffler shop is to build your own from the header back to the muffler. Use your muffler just cut a piece off to square it back up....tack it together with clamps in the bends untill it is nice nice and rent a mig welder to finish the job.

    After 20 years in Canada we can build custom exaust because the emision tests are over..If you need a cat for a yearly inspection I would just buy a stock exhaust and use your muffler.
