    Just my luck



    So this happened.... Reweld or new? Suggestions please. On a somewhat tight budget.

    If reweld, I would suggest that you use a new metal pipe. The one you have is so thin and corroded. Any weld would not last long.

        How is it "luck"?

        Parts corrode and rot away. SHOCKER i know but once in a while you do actually have to spend $$ to keep a 25 year old car on the road.

          You hear that?

          That's the sound of a straight pipe calling.

            Straight pipe in California, not really an option.

                That's already seen the welder of love, hasn't it?

                E30's seem to poot out about as much moisture on warmup as
                any car I've ever seen- time for some new metal...

                      little hard to tell but the thickness of the metal seems fine. too me it looks like it just cracked from stress not rust. Id just reweld it.

                          Mine has broken there three times now. I've gotten it rewelded each time for pretty cheap. One time I got it welded for free after I just brought just the exhaust to a local shop.
