sorry boyos, Right pics:
From what i can see it must of cracked at some point and been welded to the bottom of the downpipe. It was like this when i bought it and didnt cause any problems at all. It didnt blow and performed really well.
I pop on here whenever i get a PM, :D
Oh and i have no phone as it was crushed while using Big jack, working on the 172. Its pretty much bent in half :D
