Blowing Exhaust, at a join?

[AmDaMan]

Hi, basically my exhaust has started to blow where the center section connects near the backbox. There is visibly no holes etc, and the condition of the section is good..

There looks like a bracket that holds the 2 parts together, I'm just wondering what would cause it to blow as that bracket looks tight already?

Take it to kwik fit or the like, they will redo a join for £5 or so.

do you mean just before it goes therough a tight bend?

I had that on my 16v when I had it and it was just blowing from the join - can easily happen if not joined properly. I just took the join apart gave it a coat of exhaust paste, put it back together and problem solved.
